Early on August 5, a strengthening period began as deep convection ignited over and near the low-level center.
On July 11, the low-level center became displaced form the deep convection.
Hernan weakened further as a large portion of its circulation remained on land, while the low-level center became difficult to locate.
The system moved northwestward and slowly acquired a low-level center of circulation.
However, the low-level center slowed and remained stationary for around 12 hours.
Due to multiple low-level center of circulations and an ill-defined structure, the depression was difficult to track.
On October 24 the low-level center had completely dissolved, and only a small area of convective activity persisted.
After a jog to the northwest, the low-level center became separated from the convection.
Nora degenerated over land, and the low-level center moved towards the north-northeast.
John continued northwest for a short while, before the low-level center of circulation had been exposed.
