New Hurricane Threats Grow in Pacific Days After Lala's Destruction
New Pacific storm threats emerge as Hawaii recovers from Hurricane Lala; two systems have an 80% chance of development.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Lala's devastating impact on Hawaii, forecasters are monitoring two new areas of potential tropical storm development in the Pacific Ocean. These disturbances, identified by the National Hurricane Center (NHC), could pose an active late-August hurricane pattern. One system is expected to form south-southwest of southern Mexico later in the week, while another located east-southeast of Hawaii may become a tropical depression within days.
Although neither system currently poses an immediate threat to land, both are being closely monitored as they organize over warm tropical waters. The NHC gives a 50 percent chance of formation over the next seven days for the system in the eastern Pacific, with an 80 percent chance over the following week. As Hawaii continues its recovery efforts following Hurricane Lala, which caused widespread flooding, power outages, and damage, the newly identified threats have raised concerns about an active late-August hurricane season in the Pacific.
