It dissipated the next day,[1] and caused moderate flooding in southern California.

[1] A warm-core kona storm[2] transitioned into a tropical cyclone at 0000 UTC on March 21, west of the Necker Island.

At that time, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began tracking the storm with winds of 30 mph (50 km/h), or tropical depression strength.

[3][4] The system weakened below tropical storm intensity as it passed through the island of Oahu.

The system made a second landfall on Oahu near Mākaha, just past 0000 UTC on March 28.

The system then sped up and made its last landfall near Kealia, just past 0000 UTC on March 29.

The JTWC[3] and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) both consider the storm to be a tropical cyclone.
