When Next Hurricane Could Form as Hawaii Recovers from Lala
Hawaii is beginning the cleanup from Hurricane Lala as forecasters track two new areas of potential development in the Pacific.
Hawaii is in the process of cleaning up from Hurricane Lala as forecasters keep an eye on two new areas of potential storm formation in the eastern and central Pacific. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported on Monday that one disturbance has a high likelihood of becoming a named storm south of Mexico within the next week, while another low-pressure system could develop southeast of Hawaii and move westward toward the central Pacific.
As Lala, now a tropical storm again, moves away from Hawaii, it continues on a westward track, with maximum sustained winds around 65 mph. The NHC predicts the storm could regain hurricane status later this week while still over open waters. This heightened activity in the Pacific raises questions about the possibility of another named storm forming in the coming days.
