An area of disturbed weather near Hawaii originally thought by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center to develop into a tropical cyclone has fizzled apart. Just yesterday, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) believed there was a 60% chance that a tropical cyclone would form here; those odds have collapsed to only 10% now as the area of concern has disintegrated on satellite photography.
Approximately 1000 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, the CPHC says that showers and thunderstorms have diminished with the trough of low pressure located southeast of Hawaii. They add that environmental conditions will be becoming increasing unfavorable for further development of this system as it moves westward at 5 to 10 mph.
The CPHC which is responsible for tracking and reporting tropical cyclones in the Central Pacific Hurricane Basin says in their latest Tropical Outlook that this disturbance falling apart south of Hawaii is the only system they are monitoring and there’s no other threat zone identified that should be a problem over the next 7 days.
Long range computer forecast guidance, including the American GFS and European ECMWF models, also concur, showing no tropical cyclone threats anywhere near Hawaii through at least the first full week of October.
