Weather in Hawaii

Environmental conditions appear favorable for further development, and a tropical depression is expected to form later today or tonight while the system moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the Central Pacific. Interests in the Hawaiian Islands should closely monitor the progress of this system. Formation chance through 48 hours: high, 90 percent. Formation chance through 7 days: high, 90 percent. Source: National Weather Service Central Pacific Hurricane Center, Tropical Weather Outlook issued 2:00 AM HST, Thu Aug 20 2026. Published word for word. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: no watches or warnings are in effect. This is a system to watch, not a storm on the way in yet. If it develops, Honolulu forecasters say any effects on the islands would begin over the weekend, and the details cannot be pinned down until it forms. This is the window to review your plan and top off supplies while nothing is urgent. A SEPARATE system, Tropical Depression Two-C, is far to the southeast near the Eastern Pacific and is NOT a track threat to Hawaii. It is sending a south to southeast swell that builds through Sunday, which is a surf story, not a wind one. Stolen Stuff Hawaii will keep relaying National Weather Service updates on this system word for word. 🌀 sshsearch.com/weather #hawaii #weather #storm #hurricane #alert
