Tropical Depression Three-E formed in the eastern Pacific on July 11, becoming Tropical Storm Calvin the next day.

Calvin's center passed south of Hawaii early July 19, becoming post-tropical later that day.

The storm brought gusty winds and heavy rain, especially in areas prone to those issues. The National Weather Service received a couple of reports of wind gusts as high as 70 mph, although peak sustained winds were closer to 50 mph.

Areas of heavy rain also caused localized flooding, mainly on the Big Island.

Calvin also produced high surf with waves up to 14 to 18 feet.
