Cyclone activity is unlikely in the Central North Pacific basin for the next couple of days.
A broad area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a weak surface low is centered about 1400 miles southwest of Honolulu. Upper level winds are not expected to be conducive for significant development of this system as it moves toward the west over the next couple of days. Formation chance through 48 hours is low, around 10 percent, National Weather Service forecasters said.
A weak area of low pressure centered about 1000 miles south of Hilo, was producing poorly organized thunderstorms Saturday morning. Strong upper-level winds will likely inhibit development of this system as it moves toward the west over the next couple of days.
Formation chance through 48 hours is low, around 10 percent.
Elsewhere, no tropical cyclones are expected through Monday morning.
A tropical wave is kicking up some activity in the Eastern Pacific, however. An extensive area of showers and thunderstorms well southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is associated with environmental conditions that are conducive for development, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the middle of next week while the low moves westward to west-northwestward at around 15 mph.
Formation chance through 48 hours is very low, but increases to 75 percent by the middle of next week.
Another area of low pressure could form early next week well to the south-southwest or southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Environmental conditions are expected to be conducive for slow development of this system.
