Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Sat Sep 12 2026

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical 
Storm Norbert, located well west-southwest of the southern tip of 
the Baja California Peninsula.

Central and Western East Pacific (EP97):
Earlier satellite-derived winds indicate that the surface 
circulation associated with an area of low pressure located 
several hundred miles southwest of the southwestern coast of Mexico 
remains poorly defined.  Environmental conditions still appear 
conducive for development, however, and a tropical depression is 
expected to form during the next couple of days while it moves 
generally west-northwestward to westward over the central and 
western portions of the eastern Pacific basin.  For more 
information, including gale warnings, please see the High Seas 
Forecast issued by the National Weather Service. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Well Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands:
A broad area of low pressure located several hundred miles 
southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, is producing disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms.  Development of this system is becoming less likely 
while it drifts generally west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
