Jimena formed on August 28th in the far western portion of the Eastern Pacific Ocean at approximately 129.6°W as a tropical depression and moved westward where it rapidly became a hurricane the following day.

After reaching its peak strength as a Category 2 hurricane, the storm began to weaken due to increasing wind shear.

[6] As the hurricane neared the Central Pacific Basin, it winds reached a peak intensity of 105 mph (169 km/h) and its barometric pressure fell to 970 millibars on August 30.

[7] On August 31, Jimena encountered strong southerly wind shear, causing it to quickly weaken back to a tropical storm by September 1.

[2] After weakening back to a depression, Jimena crossed the International Date Line on September 5 at 0600 UTC,[1] where it became the first storm to exist in all three Pacific basins since 1999's Hurricane Dora.

At 1800 UTC, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center issued their final advisory on Jimena as the storm dissipated 715 miles (1,151 km) southeast of Wake Island.

[11] The storm's approach also closed down beaches and prompted officials to cancel outdoor activates as a precaution[12] and the American Red Cross opened shelters and provided emergency services.

[14] As Jimena passed south of Hawaii as a weakening tropical storm, it brought high winds and heavy rainfall to the island.
