00:00Welcome back to AccuHether Ahead. We have been detailing the impacts that the Hawaiian Islands have felt from that record-setting earthquake from last night and the tsunami that we were tracking for you.
00:11But in addition to that, even as we end of the weekend, we're going to be watching two opposite areas of rotation, bringing strong winds here across the islands.
00:18Now we have two separate tropical systems to the south of the Hawaiian Islands in Iona and Keeley, but to the north we have this stubborn area of high pressure.
00:26Now high pressure rotates clockwise, and that clockwise rotation, whenever you're to the south of an area of high pressure, you see very strong east-to-west winds.
00:35Now low pressure rotates counterclockwise, so whenever you're to the north of an area of low pressure, you normally see those very strong east-to-west winds as well.
00:44So it looks like Hawaii, the islands of Hawaii, are pretty much going to be sandwiched in between this almost wind tunnel,
00:50where we're going to see strong winds continuing across the region as we head into the weekend,
00:54and that could elevate the overall risk of fire danger because of how strong the winds are going to be.
00:59So here's the latest with both Iona and Keeley.
01:02So the overall trend is that they are now in the downward trend here that we've been tracking over the past couple of days,
01:08so we're going to be watching out for that as well.
01:10But in addition to what we are tracking currently, looking forward, there's going to be more development here across the Pacific.
01:16We will see some development just to the south of Hawaii for the next couple of days.
01:20That's going to be a moderate level, a moderate chance of development,
01:23but the high potential of development will be just to the south of Mexico as we head throughout the weekend and early parts of next week.
01:30So heads up for that.
01:31Now across the Atlantic, we have a couple of things that are preventing any significant development here.
01:37One is going to be suppressed tropical development from weaker African.
01:41The jet isn't quite as strong as we would normally see.
01:44So overall, we're going to see a quieter start here, at least for the Atlantic season.
