| - Hurricane Linda was a low-end Category 1 hurricane that remained over open waters throughout its existence. The 15th tropical cyclone, 13th named storm, and 6th hurricane of the 2009 Pacific hurricane season, Linda originated out of a tropical wave on September 7 several hundred miles west-southwest of the Baja California Peninsula. Tracking generally towards the west, Linda steadily intensified within a region only slightly favorable for intensification. By September 9, the storm turned northward in response to a weakening subtropical ridge to its north and a new ridge forming to the east. Early on September 10, Linda attained its peak intensity with winds of 80 mph (130 km/h) and a barometric pressure of 985 mbar (hPa; 29.09 inHg) following the formation of an eye close to the center of circulation. However, increasing wind shear displaced the center to the northeast of the low-level circulation. Linda began to weaken and deteriorated into a tropical storm early on September 11. Lacking deep convection, the storm degenerated into a remnant low pressure area later that day. The remnants of the former hurricane persisted for several more days, dissipating roughly 1,195 mi (1,925 km) east of the Hawaiian Islands on September 15.
