Good morning. I'm meteorologist, Shane Hinton with your August 27th morning, tropical update the bulk of the activity. It's all here in the Pacific. Very interesting here. We have three tropical systems that we're talking about here. First, we have tropical storm h that has moved past Hawaii. Then we have hurricane Gilma and then tropical storm Hector. Both of these are moving westward toward Hawaii as we speak. Hurricane Gilma. Currently a category two hurricane and it is expected to uh de intensify or deescalated, I should say to more of a tropical storm status over the next couple of days. Tropical storm Hector is still forecast to remain as a tropical storm as it pushes westbound. Now, we have activity in the Central Pacific and the Eastern Pacific. As we take a trip out to the Atlantic, there is now one area that we're keeping our eyes on. It's been fairly quiet in the Atlan, very strangely. So we usually start to see more activity ramp up toward the end of August. And uh this is the first a activity that we've really seen in the past couple of weeks. Now, we do have a 20% chance of development over the next seven days. This is more over the Central Atlantic if it does become a name system. Well, we move on to the F name on the list, which is Francine. Now you recall during the of the season, there were all those forecasts calling for a very active Atlantic hurricane season. So we're still kind of holding our breath here. It is worth noting there is still plenty of time for things to heat up and become more active. Just as a reminder, the peak of hurricane season is September 10th. But the CV weather team, we're gonna be monitoring the tropics throughout the next several months. We'll continue to track the tropics for you and keep you updated on air and online.
