CURRENT TROPICAL CYCLONES:
Tropical Cyclone 08E (Douglas)…is located 1570 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii
Northeast Pacific
Tropical Cyclone 08E (Douglas)
According to the NHC, Douglas is moving toward the west-northwest near 17 mph (28 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue through Saturday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next 24 hours, and Douglas is forecast to become a major hurricane by Thursday. Gradual weakening is forecast to begin by early Friday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles (30 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km).
>>> An area of low pressure is forecast to form south of the southern coast of Mexico and portions of Central America by this weekend. Some development of this system is possible early next week while it moves generally west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours…low…near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days…low…20 percent

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane Douglas, located 1570 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Douglas is expected to move into the Central Pacific Hurricane Center area of responsibility Thursday night or early Friday.
Elsewhere, no tropical cyclone formation is expected during the next 5 days.

According to the JTWC, there’s a tropical disturbance, being referred to as Invest 92S, located approximately 815 NM west of Diego Garcia.
Satellite imagery shows a broad low level circulation obscured by disorganized convection to the southwest.
92S is currently in an unfavorable environment for development with high >25 knot wind shear,ill-defined upper level outflow…and warm sea surface temperatures.
Global models are in good agreement that 92S will slowly track southwestward with gradual intensification, before turning northwestward..
Maximum sustained surface winds are estimated at 15-20 knots
The potential for the development of a significant tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours remains low.
Here’s what the computer models are showing
