I've been busy IRL so haven't been following too much, but
1. Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure located around 600 miles southeast of Honolulu, Hawaii have become better organized today. Environmental conditions support tropical cyclone development, and a tropical depression is likely to form later this evening while the low moves slowly northeastward. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu, Hawaii will likely begin issuing advisories later this evening.
* Formation chance through 48 hours, high, near 100 percent.

Please wait with changing the thread title until the first official advisory is issued. In this case it is pretty clear that we will have 07C in the next hour but sometimes the BT data is changed and then downgraded again (for example TS Kevin this year) so the title may be misleading to some.

Sounds fair. I just go by the Navy sites.
Actually, this is more than likely a TS.

AND GIVEN THAT A STRENGTHENING CURVED BAND IS IN THE PROCESS OF
WRAPPING TOWARD THE CENTER FROM THE SOUTHEAST...THE INITIAL
INTENSITY FOR THIS ADVISORY IS 30 KT. GIVEN RECENT SATELLITE
TRENDS...THIS MAY BE A LITTLE CONSERVATIVE. THIS MARKS THE TWELFTH

THE GREATEST NUMBER OF TROPICAL CYCLONES TO OCCUR IN THE BASIN ON

COMPONENT...AND IS 050/06KT. THE COMPLEX FORECAST TRACK IS ALSO
SOMEWHAT TYPICAL FOR A LOW EMERGING FROM A MONSOON TROUGH...AND IS
BEST DESCRIBED AS AN S-TYPE TRACK. THE CYCLONE IS FORECAST TO
SLOWLY MOVE NORTHEAST...THEN WEST-NORTHWEST...AND THEN EAST AND
NORTHEAST THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS WILL OCCUR AS THE
STEERING CURRENTS EVOLVE...WITH THE CYCLONE INITIALLY MOVING
EAST-NORTHEAST UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF A LARGE CUT-OFF LOW ALOFT TO
THE NORTH OF HAWAII. THIS LOW IS FORECAST TO LIFT NORTH OVER THE
NEXT 24 TO 48 HOURS...ALLOWING AN EAST PACIFIC RIDGE TO BUILD TO THE
NORTH OF THE SYSTEM...THUS IMPARTING A WEST-NORTHWESTERLY MOTION. A

WATERS IN AN ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERIZED BY LIGHT SHEAR...SIGNIFICANT
INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED. IN FACT...SHIPS RAPID INTENSITY

OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST IS JUST A LITTLE LESS

LINE WITH THE IVCN CONSENSUS. THE LATER PERIODS OF THE FORECAST
INDICATE LITTLE CHANGE IN THE INTENSITY OF THE CYCLONE AS INCREASING

06z GFS more east of the big island now. The G-IV plane hopefully will solidify the models solutions.
The steering is going to be very complex as well. The ridge is expected to rebuild, and then weak to a point where there is no steering, and then a trough to lift 7-C once again. Right now the motion is to the NE. If the ridge builds and remains strong for a pro longed period of time, 7-C could be at an altitude that would put it in position to crash in the big island or affect other islands once the trough picks it up again. Or if the trough digs in deep quickly, 7-C could move north a lot quicker.
Gonna be really interesting to see what happens.

People keep asking why there's so little traffic on these threads .... that's one reason. Too much crystal ball voodoo stuff.
They mean a lot more than you think. I'm sorry these threads don't appease you but these pacific storms don't have models threads.

People arguing about models can't even agree on what to argue about:
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=117622&hilit=
I'd just prefer they not be mentioned at all until or unless ones proves to be consistently accurate above 80% and is officially declared so by the NWS. Until then, you might as well be talking about Tea Leaves.

I've replied to your post on that thread you linked. In regards to this storm, the models are in consensus. We're just monitoring to see if there's any slight changes because right now that's the difference between a landfall or not on the big island. Seven-C is quite a large storm and more likely than not it will be a very strong hurricane considering the super warm SST'S and favorable upper level winds.
I understand your frustrations in just seeing satellite images and dvorak numbers over and over, but it's all we have for pacific threads. I wish we had the big boys commenting on here like they do on the Atlantic storms but to each his own. But the quality of these pacific storm threads has increased compared to the past few years. And let's not forget, it's the Pacific. Very few affected thankfully and it's more of a just sit, observe, and admire the quality fish storms this basin produces.

They mean something because they are an indication of the storm's future track/intensity. I think most people on here know that they aren't perfect.
