For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Lowell, located well northwest of the Hawaiian Islands, and on
Tropical Storm Norbert, located several hundred miles west-
southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

Well Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located more than 500 miles
to the southeast of the Hawaiian Islands are associated with a broad
trough of low pressure. Some gradual development of this system is
possible over the next few days into the weekend while it moves
generally northward and then meanders to the southeast of the
Hawaiian Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Central and Western East Pacific:
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low
pressure are located several hundred miles southwest of the
southwestern coast of Mexico. Gradual development of this system is
anticipated, and a tropical depression is likely to form by early
next week while it moves generally west-northwestward to westward
over the central and western portions of the East Pacific.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Tropical Storm Norbert Forecast Discussion Number 6

Tropical Storm Norbert Discussion Number   6
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP142026
500 PM HST Thu Sep 10 2026

Norbert continues to show a shear pattern on satellite imagery, 
with the center located on the western edge of a strong and growing 
area of convection.  Objective satellite estimates are higher than 
the last advisory, so the initial intensity is nudged upward to 45 
kt.  Only slow strengthening is anticipated for the next few 
days while Norbert experiences light-to-moderate westerly shear 
over warm waters, though close to some dry mid-level air.  Thus, 
Norbert will likely have some challenges developing an inner core, 
probably preventing any rapid changes in the near-term.  Model 
guidance is higher than the last cycle overall, and the new 
intensity forecast is raised slightly from the previous one.  The 
long-range intensity is a challenge given the large latitudinal 
spread in the track guidance as well as the possibility of 
increasing shear.  

The tropical storm's motion remains westward at 12 kt.  A mid- 
level ridge over the eastern Pacific is forecast to build westward 
in tandem with Norbert during the next few days, keeping the 
cyclone moving westward to west-northwestward.  A south-of-west 
track is possible by next week, depending on the future orientation 
of the ridge and the position of Norbert.  The ECMWF has been 
showing this west-southwest motion for a few runs now, and with the 
Google DeepMind now in closer agreement, the official forecast is 
shifted southward at long range.  Otherwise few changes were made 
to the previous forecast.
