Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
800 AM HST Wed Aug 21 2024

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


1. Showers and thunderstorms have changed little in organization 
since last night in association with a well-defined 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 today 
while it moves generally westward at 10 to 15 mph.  This system is 
expected to strengthen as it moves into the central Pacific basin 
tonight or 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.
