By October 12, Patricia attained its peak intensity with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 996 mbar (hPa; 29.41 inHg).

By the morning of October 14, Patricia had degenerated into a non-convective remnant low near the southern coastline of Baja California Sur.

Although the center of Patricia did not impact land, the outer bands caused significant rainfall in portions of western Mexico.

On October 11, a well-defined circulation had formed and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) estimated that it developed into a tropical depression roughly 405 mi (650 km) south-southeast of the southern tip of Baja California Sur.

Patricia tracked north-northwest in a region of low to moderate wind shear, under the steering currents of a strong ridge of high pressure to the east and a trough located northwest.

[4] Later that day, Patricia attained its peak intensity as a moderately strong tropical storm with winds of 60 mph (95 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 996 mbar (hPa; 29.41 inHg).

[1] The storm maintained this intensity for several hours as its central dense overcast remained intact despite increasing wind shear.

However, the NHC stated that there was a 20% chance of the storm becoming a hurricane within 24 hours based on climatological factors and the average forecast intensity errors.

[6] Later that day, convective developed ceased to occur as the storm neared the south tip of Baja California Sur.

Early on October 14, Patricia degenerated into a remnant low pressure area, bypassing tropical depression status, roughly 30 mi (50 km) south of the Baja California Peninsula.
