Hawaii News Now Sunrise Weather Report – Friday, August 16, 2024
Nothing alarming this early on when looking at the latest weather models, but long-range weather models suggest perhaps a tropical depression will develop over the Central Pacific by the weekend (late Saturday into Sunday). IF it does, it will remain south of the islands if it does develop. It shows it fairly weak from start to finish …. but if it were to strengthen over the Central Pacific and become a tropical storm — it would be given a Hawaiian name: Hone. It appears it will remain south and enter an environment that doesn’t seem to support intensification if it does develop. Just a friendly reminder we are in the thick of hurricane season. Right now, the thunderstorms to our southeast are disorganized but the last several model runs do show it becoming more organized as a very weak tropical cyclone. Still plenty of uncertainty– so will watch from start to finish. We shall see if it shapes up and becomes more organized.
