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

Approximately 1450 miles east-southeast of Hilo Hawaii (EP90/E91):
A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms is
associated 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 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.

1. While it is too early to determine the exact location and magnitude
of potential impacts, interests in Hawaii should closely monitor
this disturbance. For marine forecasts, including gale warnings,
see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
