On August 11, a broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave formed off the coast of southwestern Mexico.[1] A well-defined center of circulation was observed within the disturbance on the afternoon of August 12, marking the formation of Tropical Depression Seven-E in the open ocean south-southwest of the Baja California peninsula.[2] Later that same day, the steadily organizing system strengthened into Tropical Storm Fernanda.[3] Into the next day, Fernanda followed a west-northwestward course, and was displaying signs that it was intensifying, including, very cold central dense overcast cloud tops of near −112 °F (−80 °C), and a well defined upper-level outflow over the western half of its circulation.[4] When a faint eye-like feature became visible on satellite imagery that afternoon, the NHC upgraded the system to a Category 1 hurricane.[5] Thus began a period of rapid intensification, during which it became a major hurricane. By 15:00 UTC on August 14, Fernanda had intensified to Category 4 strength, with sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h), and was moving toward the west at 8 mph (13 km/h) away from Baja California.[6] Fernanda remained at that intensity for several hours, before falling to Category 3, while undergoing an apparent eyewall replacement cycle.[7] The system continued to exhibit signs of weakening as the day progressed, and fell below major hurricane strength by day's end.[8] The pace of structural degradation quickened on August 15, due to wind shear, cooling sea-surface temperatures, and low relative humidity levels.[9] Fernanda became a tropical storm the following morning,[10] and, by that evening, had become devoid of any convective activity.[11] Consequently, Fernanda, now far to the west-southwest of Baja California, was declared a post-tropical cyclone at 15:00 UTC on August 17.[12]

On August 11, a broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave formed well to the east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands.[13] A few days later, shower and thunderstorm activity within the disturbance became better organized, and it developed a well-defined circulation. Consequently, Tropical Depression Eight‑E formed at 03:00 UTC on August 14.[14] The depression strengthened into Tropical Storm Greg six hours later. At the time, the storm was moving westward at 13 mph (20 km/h), and was about to enter the Central Pacific basin.[15] The storm strengthened some on August 15, as an inner core developed and deep convection increased near its center, a result of diminished wind shear and continued warm water temperatures.[16] The wind shear, though relatively light, proved disruptive nonetheless, displacing Greg's convection to the north of the center and causing it to pulsate.[17] This ultimately led to the storm becoming increasingly disorganized late the following day.[18]
Current storm information[edit]
As of 11:00 p.m. HST August 14 (09:00 UTC August 15), Tropical Storm Greg is located within 20 nautical miles of 12°06′N 154°30′W / 12.1°N 154.5°W, about 675 mi (1,085 km) southeast of Honolulu, Hawaii, and about 525 mi (845 km) southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Maximum sustained winds are 45 mph (75 km/h), with gusts up to 60 mph (95 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 1004 mbar (29.65 inHg), and the system is moving west at 13 mph (20 km/h). Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles (130 km) from the center.

On August 12, a tropical wave traversing Central America entered the far eastern Pacific, producing rain showers and thunderstorms.[19] A broad area of low pressure developed within the wave on August 14, off the southern coasts of Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador.[20] The disturbance gradually became better organized during the following day, and when a well-defined circulation along with developing convective banding features were observed on the morning of August 16, it was classified as Tropical Storm Hilary.[21]
Current storm information[edit]
As of 9:00 a.m. MDT (15:00 UTC) August 17, Hurricane Hilary is located within 20 nautical miles of 15°30′N 107°48′W / 15.5°N 107.8°W, about 365 mi (585 km) south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico, and about 530 mi (855 km) south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Maximum sustained winds are 85 mph (140 km/h), with gusts up to 105 mph (165 km/h). The minimum barometric pressure is 980 mbar (28.94 inHg), and the system is moving west-northwest at 14 mph (22 km/h). Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km).
