NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
800 PM HST Sat Aug 15 2020

For the central North Pacific...between 140W and 180W:

An area of low pressure is located around 700 miles  
south-southeast of Honolulu, Hawaii. Showers and thunderstorms
associated with this system continue to become better organized. 
Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for gradual
development, and a tropical depression may form later this 
weekend or early next week as the system moves westward at 
about 10 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent.

An elongated area of low pressure is located about 765 miles 
south-southwest of Honolulu, Hawaii. Disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms within this area of low pressure have changed little 
during the past several hours. Environmental conditions may improve 
slightly, so some development of this system is possible during the 
next few days as it moves slowly westward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low..20 percent.

Elsewhere, no tropical cyclones are expected during the next 5 days.
