EPAC: AKONI - Post-Tropical

[1900hurricane]

Here we go, second time through the naming list!

[EquusStorm]

That name list cycle certainly took uh, a while lol. Correct me if wrong but this means it's the first name to be re-used there since modern naming began yes?

[1900hurricane]

That is correct.

18z ICON showing future Akoni taking a more WNW track as it approaches a weakness in the ridge. Key thing here is how the strong the weakness will be and how long it lasts before the ridge builds back in. Models continue to favor a track away from Hawaii.

Ugh those recurves, I'm getting Lane's flashbacks, I hope it doesn´t become a trend for Hawaii

Yes, the first time List 1 and Akoni has been used since 1982. Only took about 37 years to cycle through all 4 lists

[Hurricane Jed]

Well that died rather quickly

This should remain well south of Hawaii, I don't see much of a chance it threatens the Hawaiian Islands at all, even if it regenerates.

Based on satellite presentation it looks like Akoni was swallowed by the ITCZ?

Yeah I'm not sure what happened or what's going on. The CPHC disco was a little vague. No deep convection near its LLC so its a remnant low? But there's plenty of deep convection south of the center although its probably associated with MT/ITCC -- but its still there with some association with the LLC. Unless it opened up into a trough.

There's deep convection, but the circulation does look a little broad to me, so I'm in agreement that it doesn't qualify as a tropical cyclone right now. I think it needs to do some more work to become its own defined entity.
