Will Hawaii be impacted by developing tropical cyclones in the Pacific?
An active pattern for tropical cyclone formation in the Eastern and Central Pacific could send several named storms in the general direction of Hawaii, but will the systems have a direct impact on the 50th state?
Hurricane Gilma is the only system that has earned a name so far, but there is a high chance that a second disturbance could become organized enough to develop into a tropical storm.
The closest feature to Hawaii is a disturbance known as Invest 90/91E. Computer forecast models show a gradual development of that system, and Hurricane Hunters will investigate the system on Thursday.
Invest 90E/91E track confidence.

Yellowstone National Park could see first snowfall of the season
There’s still plenty of summer left to go, but some mountains in the West, including inside Yellowstone National Park, will likely become the first locations in the Lower 48 to see snowfall as summer enters its final month.
A significant trough in the Northwest will allow for temperatures to drop 10 to 20 degrees or more, and the combination of the cooler temperatures and moisture will allow some precipitation to fall in the form of snow in the higher elevations.
This graphic shows when areas of the U.S. can expect to see their first snowfall of the season.

A stunning sight unfolded in San Jose, California, as a Blue Supermoon rose over the city while a helicopter dropped retardant on a nearby wildfire.
“I was surprised to see the Moon rise through the flames and shocked when I captured a helicopter dropping retardant on the fire in the shadow of the Moon,” Chere Tamura said.
However, that wasn’t the only incredible video of the Supermoon. Other videos showed the Supermoon rising above San Francisco.
A shot of the first supermoon of 2024 rising over San Jose took on epic proportions on Monday, when it framed a helicopter dropping retardant on a raging wildfire.
