Erik
6E has formed in the Central Pacific & is expected to be a Hurricane by Wed 7/31/19, & we are within the latitude of the predicted storm path by late next week
Definitely something to track for now, & just make sure all of your storm prep stuff is up-to-date.

A majority of spaghetti models forecast 06EP (Eric) will pass south of Big Island. Too early for any certainty though:

Both model forms (cyclocane & CPHC models) are tightening up for Erik to pass a little closer to our south island.
If this trend continues, it is best to plan for some storm effects on our island

Erik to pass a little closer to our south island.
South Point is in the cone. It's a good size storm so wind and rain will reach quite a distance from the center. Here's a recent GOES image:

And now there is also FLOSSIE
7-E to watch for late NEXT weekend (maybe 8/4-5ish...still too early...but starting to head this way with predicted hurricane force from Wed 8/31 through at least Fri 8/3 (last prediction day) with spaghetti models show an affinity to us... at this point!

Weird, this will be the third Flossie in 12 years. First was 2007, second in 2013.

Hooligal, & I am hoping this Flossie follows the path of the last 2, which were heading directly at us & got very close, but no hit!
Hurricane names are re-cylced, if there is no major damage.
I think we all remember the 2 "Flossie" storms, as they were very close to direct hits on the island, 07 to the south & just stopped & 13 from the east & veered north.
