Tropical Storm Irwin caused heavy rainfall in Southwest Mexico. The ninth named storm of the 1987 Pacific hurricane season, Irwin formed as a tropical depression on August 3 over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) south of Manzanillo. The depression quickly intensified into a tropical storm. Irwin fluctuated in strength as it closely paralleled the coast of Mexico. On August 6, Irwin reached its maximum winds of 65 mph (100 km/h); it maintained that velocity for over two days. During August 8, Irwin turned nearly due west and headed out to sea. Irwin weakened to a tropical depression on August 9 and immediately dissipated.[1] The storm's outer bands caused torrential downpours that caused $2.1 million (1987 USD) in damage. Many businesses and homes received damage; however, no deaths were reported.
