Nineteen-E curl northeast through Wednesday before taking a slow turn back to the north and northwest, according to the National Hurricane Center forecast.

Projected Path

Strengthening is expected, and this system will likely become Tropical Storm Seymour soon.
However, the "future Seymour's" lifespan will be short.
Strong wind shear will eventually rip apart this system by late in the week well east of the Big Island of Hawaii. Thus, it is no threat to the Hawaiian Islands.
For what it's worth, the final eastern Pacific named storm in 2015 was also an "S" storm, Hurricane Sandra in late November.
