As of about 6-8 hours ago JMA noted Iona on their weather analysis map
IMG_1880.jpeg
Iona may just barely cross the IDL into the Western Pacific as a TC, and it is very close to the IDL right now in fact:
IMG_1887.jpeg
White line marks 140W (the boundary between the EPAC and the CPAC) the blue line is the IDL and the red circle in the mass of clouds near the IDL denotes Iona, which is the name in white lettering below the red circle. As you can see, Iona is very close to crossing the IDL.
 
Here is the rest of Iona’s working best track as of now in a separate post since I ran into a 10,000 word limit:

WTPA41 PHFO 020249
TCDCP1

Tropical Depression Iona Discussion Number 24
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI CP012025
Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM HST Fri Aug 01 2025

Satellite imagery indicates that convection associated with Iona
remains fragmented and disorganized, with the low-level circulation
becoming increasingly broad and diffuse under persistent
west-northwest shear. The center is exposed and becoming less
defined, and a recent ASCAT pass detected peak winds of only around
25 kt in the northeastern quadrant. Subjective Dvorak current
intensity estimates from SAB, HFO, and JTWC ranged from 1.5/25 kt to
2.5/35 kt. Based on these data and the degraded satellite
appearance, the initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt.

The initial motion is estimated at 295/15 kt. Iona is expected to
continue west-northwestward through the weekend while gradually
slowing, steered by the southern flank of a low- to mid-level
subtropical ridge to the north. A northwestward turn remains likely
by late this weekend or early next week as the system approaches a
weakness in the ridge. The latest track forecast remains similar to
the previous advisory and is close to the consensus aids, with only
minor adjustments.

Given the increasingly degraded structure of Iona and the lack of
deep convection, little to no reorganization is anticipated.
Persistent westerly shear, interaction with an upper-level trough,
and the intrusion of mid- to upper-level dry air should continue to
inhibit strengthening. While most dynamical model guidance depicts
Iona gradually opening into a trough by early next week, the current
disorganized state suggests that degeneration into a remnant low or
trough could occur at any time over the weekend. The updated
forecast maintains Iona as a tropical cyclone briefly, but the
system is expected to dissipate by 72 hours or sooner.

This is the last advisory issued by the Central Pacific Hurricane
Center on this system. Future advisories will be issued by RSMC
Tokyo, Japan. Advisories issued by RSMC Tokyo are found on the web

They are now (since Iona is preparing to cross the IDL and into the WPAC. Further warnings will be issued by RSMC Tokyo (JMA) but U.S. based interests will have the JTWC warnings coming in at least 6 hours or so from now.
 
With Gil becoming a hurricane, this is the first time since 2023 that the Eastern Pacific has had 5 hurricane before August 15th.
To find three major hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific before August 15th, you have to go back to..... you guessed it.... 2018

Dang! That’s very interesting for this year so far be neutral (which I guess means every basin has a level playing field for once, to include the CPAC)
 
The JTWC opened up two new invests around 160E in the WPAC (94W and 95W), and another SHEM invest in the SIO (mistakenly designated 90S even though we’ve already had a 90S)
 
00Z GFS tried to have a Unnamed Subtropical Storm of January 2023 2.0
