For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Iona, located in the central Pacific basin well southwest of
the Hawaiian Islands and Tropical Storm Gil, located well
south-southwest of the southern Baja California peninsula.
Well Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands (CP92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area
of low pressure located about 650 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii,
continue to persist. While the system currently lacks a
well-defined low-level center, some development is possible during
the next 24 hours. By this weekend, environmental conditions are
expected to become less conducive for further development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
Central East Pacific:
An area of low pressure is expected to form well south of
southwestern Mexico in the next couple of days. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some gradual development of this
system, and a tropical depression is likely to form over the
weekend or early next week as the system moves west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

Tropical Storm Gil Forecast Discussion Number 3
Issued at 1100 AM HST Thu Jul 31 2025000 WTPZ42 KNHC 312034 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Gil Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072025 1100 AM HST Thu Jul 31 2025 Gil has been holding steady since the last advisory. A scatterometer pass from 1729 UTC showed the low-level center near the northern edge of the Central Dense Overcast (CDO) suggesting the cyclone is experiencing moderate vertical wind shear. The initial intensity is held at 45 kt for this cycle, in agreement with the TAFB and SAB Dvorak estimates. While the scatterometer pass only covered the western half of the storm, it did provide information used to update some of the tropical-storm-force radii. The motion is west-northwestward at 11 kt along the southern periphery of a mid-level ridge centered over the Baja California peninsula. This general motion, with a gradual increase in forward speed, should continue through the weekend. By early next week, Gil should turn more westward in the trade winds. Only slight adjustments have been made to the latest official track forecast. Global models predict that the vertical wind shear should gradually abate over the next 12 hours or so. After this occurs, the warm sea surface temperatures and ample mid-level moisture should allow Gil to continue to strengthen for the next day or so. By Saturday, the storm is expected to cross the 26 degree isotherm and move over progressively cooler waters. This should induce a steady-to-rapid weakening trend through the end of the forecast period. Gil is still predicted to lose its organized deep convection and become a remnant low by day 4. The intensity guidance predictions have decreased somewhat this cycle and the official forecast now lies near the upper end of the guidance envelope.
