Key Points:
- The Pacific hurricane season is very active with three systems: Hurricanes Polo and Odalys, and Tropical Storm Nolo, along with two additional areas being monitored for development.
- Tropical Storm Nolo is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane near Hawaii by early Saturday, posing threats of life-threatening flooding and strong winds, particularly on the Big Island.
- Hurricane Polo rapidly intensified and is forecasted to stay offshore southwest Mexico but may bring flooding, high surf, and tropical storm-force winds, with potential impacts extending to the Baja Peninsula next week.
- In the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Fay has re-strengthened but will weaken soon and remain far from land, while another tropical wave near Africa has a high chance of development but poses no immediate threat to land.
- The Atlantic hurricane season has been historically quiet compared to the much more active Eastern Pacific season, as measured by Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE).
