Extratropical cyclone, remnant low, tropical disturbance, or monsoon depressionThe origins of Tropical Storm Priscilla can be traced to a tropical wave that departed from the west coast of Africa on October 3. The system remained weak that traversed steadily westward before reaching the southwestern Caribbean Sea on October 11. Around this time, deep convection began to increase, however, the wave split late the next day, with the northern part drifting northwestward across the Yucatán Peninsula and eventually leading to the development of Tropical Storm Nestor on October 18. The southern part of the wave continued gradually westward across Central America and Southeastern Mexico, entering the Gulf of Tehuantepec early on October 15, as deep convection flourished.[1]
