Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
200 AM HST Thu Aug 22 2024

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida is issuing 
advisories on Hurricane Gilma, located more than one thousand miles 
west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California 
peninsula, or around two thousand miles east of Hilo, Hawaii. Gilma 
is expected to move into the Central Pacific Hurricane Center's area 
of responsibility early next week.

Approximately 1000 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii (EP91/CP90):
Shower and thunderstorm activity continues to shows signs of 
organization with an area of low pressure well east-southeast of 
the Hawaiian Islands. Only a slight improvement in organization 
could result in the formation of a tropical depression or tropical 
storm later today while it moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph. 
This system is currently crossing into the Central Pacific basin, 
where it is then forecast to strengthen during the next couple of 
days and move near the Hawaiian Islands late this weekend or early 
next week. For marine forecasts, including gale warnings, see High 
Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. 

Interests in Hawaii should closely monitor this disturbance, though 
it remains too early to determine the exact location and magnitude 
of potential impacts. Now that the system is moving into the 
Central Pacific basin, all future information on this system 
will be found in the Tropical Weather Outlook for the Central 
Pacific Basin.
* 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.
