Highlights:
- Hurricane Guillermo was located about 1,570 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, as of Friday morning.
- Guillermo strengthened into a hurricane early Friday and additional strengthening is expected. Guillermo may become a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) and there is a chance that Guillermo could undergo a period of rapid intensification.
- For the next five days Guillermo is forecast to stay over open waters as it moves to the west-northwest in the general direction of Hawaii.
- Early next week, Guillermo should encounter increasing upper-level winds and cooler waters which will lead to gradual weakening.
- It's too early to speculate on whether this system will eventually have any impact on the Hawaiian Islands. IF there are any impacts, it would not be until the middle or late portion of next week.
- Air Force Hurricane Hunters are tentatively scheduled to investigate this system on Sunday.
