Hurricane Max was a short-lived hurricane that absorbed Tropical Storm Lidia. Tropical Depression Thirteen-E formed south-southeast of the tip of the Baja California Peninsula on September 18. It was sufficiently close to Lidia that it steered Lidia rapidly to the north. The cyclone strengthened to Tropical Storm Max within a few hours, and absorbed the remnants of Tropical Depression Lidia. On late September 19 the tropical storm was upgraded to Hurricane Max. The system began to weaken almost immediately thereafter, however, and Max dissipated in the early morning hours of September 22. Since the tropical cyclone did not approach any land masses, no damage was reported.
