The storm will enter the Central Pacific as a hurricane by the weekend, but it should begin to weaken to a tropical storm as it approaches Hawaii.
Star Advisor reports:
Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Honolulu said, “The weather over the main Hawaiian islands next week will depend on the progress of this tropical system.”The global models currently show the system passing northeast of the main Hawaiian islands through the middle of next week. That would likely bring light winds and muggy weather to the islands,” they said, but added, “however, it is too soon to know exactly what the disturbance will do.”
Closer to Hawaii but weakening is Tropical Depression Eight-E, which is expected to enter the Central Pacific Thursday but dissipate as it passes the islands this weekend.
