Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI
800 AM HST Sat Aug 17 2024

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

1. Approximately 750 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms are associated with a broad 
area of low pressure that is slowly moving west. Environmental 
conditions are not conducive for the development of a tropical 
depression from this area of disturbed area.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.


2. Approximately 1900 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii:
Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms are associated with a 
broad trough of low pressure located more than one thousand miles 
west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California 
peninsula. While this system may interact with another area of low 
pressure to its west-southwest over the next several days, some 
gradual development of this system is forecasted if it remains the 
dominant disturbance. A tropical depression is likely form during 
the middle part of next week while the system moves westward to 
west-northwestward over the western portion of the basin and into 
the Central Pacific basin by the end of the week. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.


3. Approximately 1200 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii:
A small area of low pressure located well southeast of the Hawaiian 
Islands is associated with some disorganized showers and 
thunderstorms. Some development of this system is possible this 
weekend into early next week while it moves slowly over the western 
portion of the East Pacific or Central Pacific basin. By the middle 
of next week, this system could merge with a larger system 
developing to its east. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.



Elsewhere, no tropical cyclones are expected during the next 7 days.
