FLHurricane.com: Tropical Storm Flossie (East Pacific) Lounge

Quite unusual for a Lounge thread on an East Pacific Invest, however, Invest 98E, located at 12.0N 115.6W at 23/18Z, does have a chance for additional development and it could bring some weather to the Hawaiian Islands in about a week. At 18Z the winds were sustained at 25 knots, pressure was 1007MB, convection was slowly developing, and movement was to the west southwest at 10 knots. SSTs are 29C but they become a few degrees cooler near and west of 135W longitude. Some of the models suggest additional development. The next name on the Eastern Pacific list is Flossie. Infrequently whenever a system might pose a potential threat to the Hawaiian Islands we will start an appropriate thread to cover it - remember this thread is only for long range discussion of Invest 98 E .
