pressure around 700 miles south-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii have
increased overnight, but remain displaced from the low level
center. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for
development of this system, and a Tropical Depression could form
during the next day or two as it moves generally west-northwestward

conditions will be marginally conducive for development today as
the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, before
conditions become hostile and chances for development decrease
tonight through the weekend.

* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...40 percent.
1. Disorganized thunderstorms associated with an elongated trough of
low pressure are located around 660 miles south-southwest of
Honolulu, Hawaii. Strong wind shear and dry air entrainment into
the system will severely limit its future downstream development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.
