Tropical Storms Hernan and Kika
Tropical Depression Edouard has moved well inland over northern Texas and is dissipating slowly with some locally heavy rain. There is a brand new tropical wave and low off the coast of Africa that will be monitored over the next few days to see if it can develop. A tropical wave is generating showers and thunderstorms in the Bahamas, but no development is expected. In the eastern Pacific, 640 miles south-southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Tropical Storm Hernan is steadily strengthening and could become a minimal hurricane before reaching cooler waters. It is forecast to move westward away from any land, just a threat to open-sea mariners.
In the central Pacific, Tropical Depression 1-C continues to become better organized and has become Tropical Storm Kika, 805 miles well southeast of Hilo. It is forecast to stay well south of the any of the islands as it heads west-northwestward. In the western Pacific, the final advisory has been issued for Kammuri as it weakens to a tropical depression and heads westward into northern Viet Nam.
