An area of disturbed weather hundreds of miles south-southeast of the Big Island could see some development during the next couple days, forecasters with the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said.
The area of low pressure was located 900 miles south-southeast of Hilo, according to forecasters. Environmental conditions are expected to support slow tropical cyclone development in the area during the next couple of days.
The system has a 60 percent chance of forming into a tropical depression within 48 hours.
Elsewhere in the Central Pacific basin, which is where Hawaii is located, forecasters were monitoring areas of nearly stationary pulsing convection about 1,450 miles west-southwest and 1,200 miles southwest of Honolulu. Environmental conditions were expected to become conducive for tropical cyclone development for the weather system 1,450 miles south-southwest of Honolulu.
Elsewhere, no tropical cyclones are expected through Friday afternoon.
In the Eastern Pacific basin, no tropical cyclone activity is forecast during the next five days.
