'''Tropical Storm Erick''' was the eighth ] of the ], and the fifth to reach ] status. Erick originated from a ] that left the coast of ], traveled west, crossed the entire ], and reached the ] without any development. The wave generated a small ] on July 28, which matured into a ] later that day, despite strong ]s in the region. The depression intensified into a tropical storm and was named Erick as it continued its westward trajectory. However, the shear prevented the storm from intensifying further and its structure deteriorated over the course of a few days. The cyclone weakened to tropical depression level and degenerated, resulting shortly afterward in a remnant low-pressure area. The storm stayed away from coastal areas and no material damage or fatalities associated with Erick have been reported.

In mid-July 2007, a tropical wave emerged from the coast of Africa and began a westward journey across the Atlantic Ocean. On July 22, the wave passed through the Lesser Antilles with disorganized activity with localized intensity. The wave crossed Central America three days later and entered the eastern portion of the Pacific Ocean, where it later gave rise to a small area of low pressure. The shear winds prevented the development of tropical ] for a few days, leaving the area of ] separated from the low pressure. Convection began to form near the center of the storm, and the system became sufficiently organized to be designated Tropical Depression Eight-E by the ] in Miami on July 31. At this point, the depression was located 1,700 km southwest of the southern tip of the Mexican state of ].<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Blake |first=Eric |date=2007-08-23 |title=Tropical Storm Erick |url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-EP082007_Erick.pdf |journal=Tropical Cyclone Report |publisher=National Hurricane Center |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071031153539/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/TCR-EP082007_Erick.pdf |archive-date=2007-10-31}}</ref>

Convection remained concentrated in the western part of the storm because of shear and the presence of dry air.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-07-31 |title=Tropical Depression EIGHT-E |url=http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/ep08/ep082007.discus.001.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241204202220/http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/ep08/ep082007.discus.001.shtml |archive-date=2024-12-04 |access-date=2024-12-10 |website=National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center}}</ref> Estimates made by the ] showed that the storm's winds had increased in speed, so the depression was upgraded to a tropical storm and was named Erick 12 hours later, at 00:00 ] on August 1; it thus became the fifth named storm of the 2007 Pacific hurricane season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-07-31 |title=Tropical Storm ERICK Discussion Number 2 |url=https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/ep08/ep082007.discus.002.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240927171444/https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/2007/ep08/ep082007.discus.002.shtml |archive-date=2024-09-27 |access-date=2024-12-10 |website=National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2007-08-01 |title=Tropical Storm Erick Forms In Pacific |url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/tropical-storm-erick-forms-in-pacific/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210624133503/http://www.cbsnews.com/news/tropical-storm-erick-forms-in-pacific/ |archive-date=2021-06-24 |access-date=2024-12-10 |work=CBS}}</ref> At the time of its update, storm Erick reached its peak winds, with speeds of 65 km/h and a minimum central pressure of 1 004 mbar.<ref name=":0" /> The wind shear persisted, and the cyclone exhibited a structure without well-defined banding features.

== Impact ==
Because Erick remained, in the words of meteorologist Richard Pasch, distant from any landmasses, no damage, material loss, or fatalities were reported. In addition, no ships reported tropical storm force winds associated with the phenomenon, and there were no tropical cyclone alerts or warnings issued by authorities.<ref name=":0" /> Throughout its course, Erick primarily affected shipping lanes, with no significant impacts reported on land.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2007-06-29 |title=Tropical Storm Erick Churns the Eastern Pacific |url=http://earthweek.com/online/ew070803/ew070803h.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309234613/http://earthweek.com/online/ew070803/ew070803h.html |archive-date=2016-03-09 |access-date=2024-12-10 |work=EarthWeek}}</ref>
