Favorable conditions for development allowed Marco to quickly intensify throughout the day on October 6. Early on October 7, Marco reached its peak intensity with winds of 65 mph (100 kilometers per hour) and a minimum pressure of 998 millibar (hPa; 29.47 inHg).[2] This was based on a reconnaissance mission into Marco which recorded flight-level winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) which corresponded to a surface wind speed of 61 mph (98 km/h). Following the quick increase in intensity, forecasters noted the possibility of Marco intensifying into a hurricane before making landfall.[4] The storm maintained a small area of deep convection, averaging 9.2 miles (14.8 km) in diameter, as it continued moving towards the west-northwest.[5] Shortly after reaching peak intensity, tropical storm force winds extended 11.5 miles (18.5 km) from the center of Marco.[6] At 1200 UTC, the center of Marco was estimated to have made landfall near Misantla, Veracruz, with winds of 65 mph (100 km/h).[2] Shortly after making landfall, Marco rapidly weakened,[7] being downgraded to a tropical depression six hours after landfall. The small depression dissipated later that day over the mountains of Mexico.[2]

Tropical Storm Marco originated in a broad area of low pressure that persisted over the northwestern Caribbean in late September 2008. On October 4, a tropical wave reached the same area, and the system spawned a circulation center over Belize. Development of the low was initially inhibited by its proximity to land. As the system neared the Bay of Campeche, convection quickly developed around the low. At 0000 UTC on October 6, the low was designated as Tropical Depression Thirteen while located over Laguna de Términos.[2] A mid-level ridge
located to the north of the depression led to movement in a general
west-northwest direction. Forecasters anticipated intensification
through landfall because of the storm's well-developed outflow and the low wind shear and high sea surface temperatures in its path.[3]
By 1200 UTC, the small cyclone, with a cloud shield of no more than
85 miles (140 kilometers) across, was upgraded to Tropical Storm Marco.[2]
