Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Wed Aug 19 2026

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Lala, located several hundred miles southeast of Lisianski Island.

Central Pacific (EP90):
A tropical wave located well to the east-southeast of the Hawaiian
Islands is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms with
some signs of organization. Environmental conditions appear
conducive for further development of this system, and a tropical
depression is likely to form during the next couple of days while
the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph and
crosses into the Central Pacific.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

South-Southwest of Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form several hundred miles
south-southwest of the coast of southern Mexico around the end of
the week. Gradual development of this system is likely thereafter,
and a tropical depression is expected to form this weekend while the
system moves generally west-northwestward, remaining well offshore
of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
