Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 AM HST Fri Sep 18 2026

For the central North Pacific...between 140W and 180W:

Western East Pacific (EP98):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located almost 1000 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of
the Baja California Peninsula have become a little better organized
since yesterday, but the system`s circulation remains broad and
elongated. Environmental conditions appear conducive for additional
development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to
form this weekend as it moves westward at 10 to 15 mph across the
western East Pacific.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Well East-Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (Former TD 15-E):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with the remnants of Tropical
Depression Fifteen-E, located more than 1000 miles east-southeast
of the Hawaiian Islands, remain disorganized. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some development of this system
next week as it moves westward to west-southwestward, and a
tropical depression could form well to the south or southeast of the
Hawaiian Islands by the middle to latter part of next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
