 Owing to the aforementioned environmental conditions , the depression intensified to a tropical storm by 18 : 00 UTC on October 17 ; it was subsequently assigned the name Trudy by the NHC . Very deep convection blossomed over both the center and accompanying banding features . During the morning of October 18 , a central dense overcast became increasingly defined ; microwave satellite imagery and coastal radars depicted the formation of a 12 to 17 mi ( 19 to 27 km ) wide eye by 03 : 00 UTC . It is estimated that Trudy reached its peak intensity around 09 : 15 UTC on October 18 with maximum sustained winds of 65 mph ( 100 km / h ) and a barometric pressure of 998 mbar ( hPa ; 29 @.@ 47 inHg ) . Simultaneously the storm made landfall just southeast of Marquelia , or roughly 70 mi ( 110 km ) east of Acapulco . Interaction with the mountainous terrain of Mexico quickly took its toll on Trudy , with the system degrading to a tropical depression by 18 : 00 UTC . The low @-@ level circulation of the depression dissipated early on October 19 , with its mid @-@ level remnants continuing northeastward over Mexico . The remnant system emerged over the Bay of Campeche on October 20 and subsequently developed into Atlantic Tropical Depression Nine — which later became Tropical Storm Hanna — on October 22 . Due to the dissipation of its surface low , Trudy and Hanna are considered separate tropical cyclones by the NHC .
