Tropical Storm Jimena Moving Slowly in the Central Pacific, Adding to Hawaii High Surf

September 7,2015

Current Status and Forecast:

  • Tropical Storm Jimena was several hundred miles north of Hawaii as of late Monday morning, local time.
  • Jimena will continue to weaken this week as it tracks west well north of Hawaii, eventually degenerating to a remnant low.
  • Swells from Jimena created dangerous surf along east and northeast facing shores of Hawaii through Monday night. 
  • Jimena could bring more moisture to Hawaii later this week. This would once again increase the threat of heavy rainfall.
  • At one point last Saturday evening (Aug. 29) into Sunday morning (Aug. 30), Jimena was one of three Category 4 equivalent hurricanes in the Pacific, joined by Kilo and Ignacio.
