Meteorological Analysis
|
Bret originated from a tropical wave which was moving through Central
America and Mexico. This tropical wave spawned some convection in the
Bay of Campeche on the 28th. This convection quickly organized and a
surface circulation with banding became evident. The area of disturbed
weather became a tropical depression on the 28th of June. The depression
was about 50 nm from the Mexican coast. The depression quickly strengthened
into tropical storm Bret, and on the 29th made landfall in Tuxpan, Mexico with
40 mph winds. Bret then moved inland and dissipated over the mountains.

Casualty and Damage Overview
|
One person died in Cerro Azul, Mexico due to Bret. There was significant flooding
damage across the Mexican province of Veracruz.
