Satellite-derived winds indicate that the area of low pressure
located about 1300 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands has
a well-defined circulation. Showers and thunderstorms continue to
show signs of organization and any increase in this activity is
likely to lead to the formation of a tropical depression either
tonight or on Monday. The system is expected to move westward to
west-northwestward, crossing into the Central Pacific basin late
tonight.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
