Re: HILDA Still Organizing, 'Hawaiian Hurricane' Likely

As is common with promising looking systems in the Central Pacific, Hilda has succumbed to the dry air that she ingested (and I'm sure a bit of shear as well). The CPHC issued the final advisory late yesterday afternoon. You can still see the low level swirl of clouds rolling along at about 15/162. Some storms are firing south and west of the COC, but no regeneration is expected.

There is another system (invest 95C) that has a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert issued for it at about 15/177. It has a chance to be TS Neki, but will have to do so quickly as it will be crossing into the Western Pacific in about 24 hours. If it does become Neki it would be the first time since 2002 that 3 storms were named in the Central Pacific basin.
