Certainly an interesting looking area of low pressure. How funny would it be if the first named storm was in the CPac?

Not a lot of thunderstorms all around the low center,but if conditions are right,that could change.

Looks like one of those Upper Level Lows that work down to the surface and lead to subtropical cyclones.

CPHC have it at gale strength, so if it gains any tropical characteristics it would go straight to a subtropical or tropical storm:

And here's a slightly earlier analysis of the low from CPHC:
ATHW40 PHFO 061837
SIMHI

HAWAIIAN ISLANDS SATELLITE INTERPRETATION MESSAGE
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI
1830 UTC FRI APR 06 2012

THE MOST NOTICEABLE CLOUD FEATURE IN THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC IS A
RAGGED 600 MILE WIDE ARC OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST LAYERED CLOUDS SOUTH
AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 25N176W TO 23N162W TO 03N153W. ISOLATED
CUMULONIMBUS...CB...ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS CLOUD ARC...WITH THE
MOST INTENSE ACTIVITY FROM 03N TO 08N BETWEEN 156W AND 166W. THIS
CLOUD ARC MERGES WITH LAYERED CLOUDS AND ISOLATED CB ASSOCIATED WITH
THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE...ITCZ...WHICH EXTENDS FROM 03N
TO 11N WEST OF 166W. NORTH OF 10N...THE CLOUD ARC CURVES
CYCLONICALLY INTO A DEEP LOW NEAR 19N175W...ABOUT 990 MILES WEST
SOUTHWEST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. WHILE MOST OF THE LAYERED
CLOUDS LIE JUST WEST OF THE ISLANDS...BREAKAWAY ELEMENTS OF MIDDLE
AND HIGH CLOUDS COVER THE WESTERN ISLANDS WITHIN THE MAIN ISLAND
CHAIN FROM TIME TO TIME. THE LOW APPEARS TO BE DRIFTING TOWARD THE
WEST SLOWLY.

WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS THE LOW IS STACKED NEARLY VERTICALLY...WITH
THE UPPER LOW EMBEDDED WITHIN A NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST UPPER TROUGH
WITH AN AXIS EXTENDING ROUGHLY THROUGH 30N169W AND 11N178E...JUST
WEST OF THE DATELINE.

Wow, talk about Omeka redux. An off-season quasi-Kona storm. Next on the list is Pewa. The true test will come when the CPHC issues a tropical weather outlook, if they're intending on doing more with it.

This is from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center,but is not a Tropical Weather Outlook,only a statement made this morning.

Issued: Apr 07, 2012 2:30 AM HST


Based on data through 2:00 am Apr 07 2012 HST

The responsible system is a deep area of low pressure located 1125 miles west southwest of Kauai at 19°N 176°W. The low is marked by scattered convection within 100 miles east of the low's center. The tops of the convection reaches up to 48000 feet. The system is about vertically stacked from near the surface to at least 30000 feet. It has been drifting westward but now appeared stalled.

I haven't seen model runs so far as they have not made a Best Track data.
