Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
200 PM HST Tue Aug 20 2024

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

Approximately 1350 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands 
(EP90/EP91):
A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms continues in 
association with two disturbances over the western portion of the 
East Pacific basin. These systems are expected to merge tonight, 
and gradual development is anticipated after they merge. A 
tropical depression or tropical storm will likely form during the 
next day or so while it moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph. 
The system is then expected to strengthen as it moves across the 
central Pacific basin late this week and move near the Hawaiian 
Islands late this weekend or early next week. 

While it is too early to determine the exact location and magnitude 
of potential impacts, interests in Hawaii should closely monitor 
this disturbance. Information on this system's development can also 
be found in the Tropical Weather Outlook for the Central Pacific 
basin. For marine forecasts, including gale warnings, see High 
Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

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