Two powerful tropical cyclones presently in the Eastern Pacific, both heading generally west, may draw close enough to each other to help tug one or both closer to the Hawaiian islands in the extended range. Several models keep picking up on this signal, with the bulk of those that do place Hawaii at risk pointing towards Lowell as having the greater risk of being pulled up towards or over the islands - also benefiting from response to steering that may already be in place. Even if a direct hit does not occur from one or both of these tropical cyclones, passage may come close enough to once again bring inclement weather to the great state of Hawaii, and so we are starting a Forecast Lounge at this time for both cyclones, Lowell and Karina, until such a time, if there is one, that one of these two becomes a clear threat.
