Around October 20, a broad area of low pressure in the far southwestern Caribbean sea began to organize. It drifted very slowly westward and became more concentrated, all the while bringing heavy rains to the neighboring central American countries. During the afternoon of October 23, it was designated Tropical Depression Twenty-One. There was no time for the system to develop any more, however, because it made landfall that very night in central Nicaragua. The main impact was heavy rainfall. Twenty-One dissipated by the next morning.
The image above shows Twenty-One shortly after formation.
Twenty-One only became a tropical cyclone less than 12 hours before landfall in Nicaragua.
