The first named tropical storm started as a depression on June 7th with a maximum wind speed of 30 MPH. It was located about 365 miles South of Acapulco, Mexico. By 8 PM that same night, it had already become a tropical storm with winds of 45 MPH and it was continuing to intensify.

By 5 PM June 8th, Adrian was now the first hurricane of the season with winds at Category 1 strength around 75 MPH. Adrian grew into a Category 4 hurricane on June 9th making it the first Major Hurricane of the East Pacific 2011 Season with maximum winds of 135 MPH.

After peaking in intensity on Friday June 10th, Adrian started weakening in the afternoon and rapidly continued to weaken on Saturday when it was downgraded to a Tropical Storm. By Sunday morning June 12th, Adrian had weakened to a remnant low and was no longer monitored by the NHC. It had a short and powerful ride for a few days, but fortunately, it did not make landfall.
