Central Pacific (140W to 180) xml button
400 AM HST SAT JUN 6 2009
FOR THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC...BETWEEN 140W AND 180
No tropical cyclones are expected through early Monday morning.
Most of it is below 10N too, so wouldn't expect too much with that shear. Impressive looking blob nonetheless, however.
