* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
Central Pacific:
An area of low pressure could form well south or southwest of the 
Hawaiian Islands in a few days. Some gradual development is possible 
thereafter and a tropical depression could form during the middle 
part of next week while the system moves slowly west-northwestward, 
well offshore of the Hawaiian Islands.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
