"The surrounding environment around Calvin has been dry and stable
with SSTs around 24-25C. As Calvin moves westward, the SSTs will
gradually increase, with values of 26-27C around the main Hawaiian
Islands. As a result, deep convection may become better developed,
which is suggested by model-simulated satellite imagery from some
of the dynamical models. This is expected to keep Calvin at
tropical storm intensity by the time it reaches the Big Island."
