Tropical Storm Lidia was the thirteenth tropical cyclone and twelfth named storm of the 2005 Pacific hurricane season. Lidia developed out of a tropical wave which was first noted on September 10 while entering the eastern Pacific basin. The wave was accompanied by at least one other tropical wave, which eventually developed into Hurricane Max, and slowly developed over the next several days. By September 17, the wave had become sufficiently organized to be declared Tropical Depression Twelve-E. The depression quickly intensified into a tropical storm and was named Lidia the same day. However, a newly formed tropical depression, Thirteen-E, a larger system, began to overtake Lida. On September 18, Thirteen-E was upgraded to Tropical Storm Max as Lidia was being absorbed into its outer band
