Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
800 PM HST Wed Aug 21 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 around a 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 1100 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii (EP91):
Shower and thunderstorm activity has gradually increased 
tonight in association with an area of low pressure located 
well east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands. A slight improvement in 
organization could result in the formation of a tropical depression 
or tropical storm on Thursday while it moves generally westward at 
10 to 15 mph. This system is expected to move into the central 
Pacific basin early Thursday morning, 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.

1. 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.
