The Pacific Ocean is currently under close observation as three additional tropical systems are being monitored for potential development. In addition to Tropical Storm Iona and Tropical Storm Keli, weather experts are tracking three disturbances that could evolve into tropical cyclones.

Near Hawaii, a system designated as EP98 has been identified. The National Weather Service indicates a 60% chance of this system developing into a tropical cyclone within the next 48 hours. EP98 is currently moving in a west-northwest direction and is expected to remain offshore, posing no immediate threat to the Hawaiian Islands. However, its trajectory and intensity are being continuously monitored.

South of Mexico, another area of interest, EP99, exhibits an 80% chance of formation into a tropical cyclone within the same 48-hour window. This system is also moving west-northwest, following a path that is anticipated to keep it offshore. Despite this, the potential for intensification and any possible shifts in direction are being carefully assessed.

Furthermore, a third system is being watched for possible development later in the week. While its formation probability is not yet quantified, meteorologists are keeping a close eye on its behavior and potential to organize into a tropical cyclone. Like the other two systems, it is expected to move west-northwest and remain away from land.

Weather agencies emphasize that while these systems are currently projected to stay offshore, the dynamic nature of tropical weather necessitates constant vigilance. Residents and visitors in the affected regions are encouraged to stay informed through official weather updates and to be prepared for any changes in the forecast. The ongoing monitoring aims to provide timely warnings and ensure public safety as these tropical systems evolve.
