Origin: Tropical Storm Lowell forms in eastern Pacific
Tropical Storm Lowell formed in the eastern Pacific on Aug. 27. Around late morning it was about 1,765 miles west-southwest of Baja California’s southern tip, with sustained winds near 40 mph. It was moving about 5 mph, generally east to east-northeast.
A gradual turn north is expected by Friday, with a westward track by Saturday and then west to west-northwest. Warm waters and modest wind shear favor steady strengthening, and Lowell could reach hurricane strength by Saturday night. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect.
Forecasts show it could approach Hawaiian waters in early September. One outlook puts a window around Sept. 4 to 7, while another points to the week of Sept. 6 to 11 depending on steering winds. That places a named system on a potential path toward the state but not an immediate threat today.
