Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
200 PM HST Sun Aug 18 2024

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

Approximately 1300 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii (EP90):
A low pressure system located well southeast of the Hawaiian 
Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  This 
disturbance is forecast to interact with the disturbance located to 
its east-northeast (mentioned below). If this system becomes the 
dominant disturbance, some gradual development is possible, and a 
tropical depression could form in the next couple of days as it 
moves slowly west. If a depression does form, a 
faster west-northwestward motion into the Central Pacific basin is 
likely during the latter half of the week. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

Approximately 1800 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with 
a broad trough of low pressure located well southwest of the 
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.  This system is 
forecast to interact with another disturbance to its west-southwest 
(EP90 mentioned above) over the next few days which could limit 
additional development. A tropical depression could still form 
during the middle part of the week while the system moves generally 
west-northwestward before possibly merging with the disturbance 
(EP90) currently located further west. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Elsewhere, no tropical cyclones are expected during the next 7 days.
