Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
200 PM HST Wed Aug 21 2024

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

Approximately 1000 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii (EP91):
1. Showers and thunderstorms have changed little in organization 
today in association with an area of low pressure located well 
east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands.  However, only a slight 
improvement in organization could result in the formation of a 
tropical depression or tropical storm later tonight or early 
Thursday while it moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph.  This 
system is expected to strengthen as it moves into the central 
Pacific basin on Thursday and moves near the Hawaiian Islands late 
this weekend or early next week.

Interests in Hawaii should closely monitor this disturbance, though 
it remains too early to determine the exact location and magnitude 
of potential impacts. 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.
