ACE has now skyrocketed to 130 units due to this trio of storms.

Is it just me, or is Lowell trending closer to Hawaii? I admittedly haven't paid that close attention.

It seems to be trending eastward, which means Lowell may affect similar areas to where Lala recently affected.

The NHC says Hurricane Watches might be required for parts of Hawaii. At least Lowell is now down to a Category 4.

That's not gonna form, would rather pay attention to the yellow AOI and the one off the coast of Mexico.

I know it wouldn’t, but it’s funny to see

We have Tropical Storm Dujuan in the WPAC, which is the 25th named storm of the season, and it is expected to become a brief typhoon before recurving near Japan.

EPAC seems like it's about to light up with some major hurricanes right now. Invests 98E and 99E are located in a solid environment for intensification, and 99E in particular has my interest. HAFS-B Parent has a doublet of C2-3 hurricanes on a collision course 126 hours out. I wouldn't be surprised if 99E becomes a C4+, given the intense El Nino environment.
