Hurricane Darby's expected turn toward the west-northwest will have critical implications for its future and how close the hurricane will venture to Hawaii.
But a more northern track in the Eastern and Central Pacific means Darby will approach waters that are too cool to sustain a hurricane or tropical storm, as well as strong upper-level winds that are not conducive for strengthening.
Forecasters expect Darby to start feeling the effects of the more hostile environment by Wednesday, and the system could weaken back into a tropical storm by Thursday over cooler waters.
Darby is expected to still be about 900 miles east of Hawaii by the end of the workweek.
Forecast models show a continued deterioration of the system’s structure and organization beyond the forecast cone.
The cooler-than-average waters in parts of the Central Pacific and the increased upper-level winds are classic products of a La Niña that is in control of weather patterns.https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topsto...li=BBnb7Kz
