Hurricane Hone Lounge
|
Left: Invest 91E. Right: Hurricane Gilma
A well-defined low pressure area east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands is already on the cusp of becoming a tropical cyclone. Given that this system increasingly has environmental and model support for development with a track that takes it perilously close to the Hawaiian islands, we are starting a Lounge on this system at this time. This feature is Invest-tagged 91E, which is a merger of two areas of previously watched disturbances.
Invest 91E has become a full-fledged tropical cyclone, TD ONE in the Central Pacific, and the title has been updated accordingly.

Re: Invest 91E Lounge (Hawaii?)

Invest 91E has become a tropical cyclone, presently estimated possibly conservatively to be a TD, CP ONE, and advisories will begin in the Central Pacific. Watches and even Warnings could be going up for Hawaii this week.

Re: Tropical Storm Hone (Hawaii threat)

Hone has been tracking a hair north of forecast and intensifying a little more than forecast. Satellite and recon suggests that the cyclone may be making a run at hurricane prior to passing west of the Big Island. A track a little on the stronger side and closer to or even directly over the Big Island is supported by a few of the ensemble members. Something to keep an eye on, as a hurricane watch or even warning is not out of the realm of possibility.
