      On July 27, 2022, the eighth named storm of the Eastern Pacific   
      Hurricane Season formed about 555 miles (895 km) southwest of the   
      southern tip of Baja California. The system was named Georgette that   
      evening as maximum sustained winds reached 45 mph (75 km/h).   
      
      Tropical Storm Georgette stayed away from land, moving generally   
      westward over open waters. Maximum sustained winds peaked at 50 mph   
      (80.5 km/h) by early on July 28 and retained that windspeed through   
      July 31. After that time, Georgette began to battle increasing vertical   
      windshear, causing the storm to weaken and turn towards the north. Late   
      on July 31, maximum sustained winds dropped to 35 mph (56.3 km/h) and   
      stayed at that strength through the morning of August 3.   
      
      The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issued the last advisory on   
      Georgette at 2100 UTC (5:00 p.m. EDT) on August 3. At that time,   
      Georgette had degenerated into a remnant low, with maximum sustained   
      winds of only 30 mph (45 km/h). It was located about 1,310 miles (2,110   
      km) west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California and was   
      moving nearly due north at 8 mph (13 km/h).   
      
      On August 3, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)   
      on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of Georgette   
      close to the time the storm weakened to a remnant low and took a turn   
      westward. At the time the image was acquired, Georgette retained weak   
      convection around a cloud-filled center but had become elongated and   
      asymmetric.
