The National Hurricane Center in Miami is currently issuing bulletins on Tropical Storm Madeline, which is located just east of 140W. Madeline is expected to move northwest for the next few days before turning west, and may impact the state during the middle of the week. There has been a lack of consistency in model guidance with this system, leading to greater than normal uncertainty in the track and intensity forecast. This may result in significant changes to the types of impacts we could see across the state. Be sure to stay up to date with the latest forecasts, which are issued every six hours. When Madeline crosses 140W into the Central Pacific Basin this evening, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu will begin issuing advisories. In addition, Hurricane Lester is located far to the east, but may affect the state over the upcoming holiday weekend. Given it’s more extreme distance, there is even greater uncertainty as to possible impacts to the state from Lester.
KNKR will have updates from our Central Pacific Hurricane Center starting tomorrow morning.
