TROPICAL STORM MARCO HITS MEXICO Tropical Storm MARCO became the 13th named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season on 6 October 2008 in the southern Gulf Of Mexico. It was a very small storm with tropical storm force winds only extending about 10 NM from the center and was expected to weaken quickly after coming ashore in southeastern Mexico north of Veracruz. The image above was made using data captured by the TRMM satellite as it passed above on 7 October 2008 at 0520 UTC. TRMM's Precipitation Radar (PR) data revealed areas of heavy precipitation around MARCO's center.
