Hurricane Andres became the first hurricane of the Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone season on 23 June 2009.
However, the satellite presentation of Andres was rather unremarkable.
Even though a low-level eye circulation was recognizable on GOES-11 visible images from the CIMSS Tropical Cyclones site above, the GOES-11 IR cloud top temperatures below were quite warm over the center of the Category 1 hurricane due to the fact that deep convection was displaced well to the south.
However, a small convective burst could be seen developing along the southern periphery of the low-level circulation center on the final visible image at 20Z.
