1. Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low pressure located about 1200 miles southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii remain disorganized. Environmental conditions support development over the next couple of days as the low remains nearly stationary.

* Formation chance through 48 hours, medium, 40 percent.

Normally when you see CPHC go 40%, it's usually a TC by then...

12z GFS has it east by the big Island again.

ECMWF continues to paint the same story.

Well models develop this by Thursday.

However, if the GFS solution is to hold true, it's in Hawaii's interest for this to get going now.

Lot's of activity from the EPAC into the CPAC soon.

Euro and GFS are hinting at more Guillermo/Hilda type storms, and maybe another Kilo storm.

These systems have already been invests. The one on the left of the ECMWF is Kilo and ones on the right are 95E and 9E.

The GFS model storm is also 9E.

Today's 12Z GFS has a real parade of storms across the CPac in the extended range. Storms enter from the EPac and exit into the WPac. Having them all at or just north of 20*N for so long does make me somewhat skeptical of the depictions, but regardless, what a wild solution if it verified!

First time I've seen this chart go off the list outside the WPAC...

CPAC off the list!

Record may continue to grow with the GFS now showing a storm forming in the CPAC in 10 days and briefly becoming a hurricane.

Code: Select all

for laughs, see what the MU is doing in the CPAC. Has a slow moving Iniki and then breaks a piece off and rockets it toward the NW or Canada. This is after it has another hurricane that starts forming in 4 days threatening the islands


Alyono don't think it's a likely solution.


That exact run? Hec no. But it does illustrate that the CPAC will be conducive for development.

With storms named Ela, Halola, Iune, Kilo, Loke and Malia, the CPAC has already used half of the Hawaiian alphabet this year (the other letters being A, N, O, P, U and W) and we might be lucky and get a seventh storm later this week out of 96C. I wouldn't have thought that the CPAC would be the basin to set records this year.

06z GFS has a sub 900mb cat.5 in the CPAC in the medium range before going on to intensify it into a monster in the long range.
