On the 24th of Uni, 1990 (Sunterian time), a tropical wave moved from northern [[Tyrosia]] northeast into the [[Volic Gulf]]. It was monitored by the [[Ari Island Volunteer Meteorological Center]] for several days, but was discontinued from being monitored as it failed to produce atmospheric convection. Over the coming days thereafter, however, the tropical wave slowly organized, and on the 3rd of Agotzo, the wave organized into Tropical Depression 1. Despite the wave's organizing, the AIVMC failed to further monitor the storm until the 10th of Agotzo.

By the 6th of Agotzo, the depression had organized further, and began to be monitored by the [[Sunterian Office of Meteorology|Sunterian Office of Meteorology (Hedieuž)]] The same day, Hedieuž categorized the depression as a Severe Tropical Storm. At noon on the 7th of Agotzo, hurricane hunters reported the intensification of the cyclone from a Severe Tropical Storm to a Cyclone, with sustained winds of 95 miles per hour, with recorded gusts of up to 110 miles per hour. A mid-level ridge to the north of the cyclone steered it west along an elongated arcing path, into waters with cooler water temperatures. The cyclone stalled and weakened slightly into a Severe Tropical Storm starting at around 10:00 PM on the 7th. | ||
Around this time, Western Azkali and Kalilonde were experiencing significant amounts of rainfall, on average approximately 3 inches. This rain, perpretrated by an extratropical system that had moved from the Talo sea into Kalilonde and Western Azkali, would be responsible for the later reintensification of the system over Kalilonde. | Around this time, Western Azkali and Kalilonde were experiencing significant amounts of rainfall, on average approximately 3 inches.
