Hurricane Guillermo moved west of longitude 140\u00b0W on Saturday, which means it officially crossed into the Central Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The responsibility for issuing advisories on Guillermo shifted from the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center in Honolulu, Hawaii when Guillermo moved west of 140\u00b0W.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Saturday the center of Hurricane Guillermo was located at latitude 14.0\u00b0N and longitude 141.0\u00b0W which put it about 1010 miles (1625 km) east-southeast Hilo, Hawaii.\u00a0 Guillermo was moving toward the west-northwest at 12 m.p.h. (19 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 105 m.p.h. (165 km\/h) and there were gusts to 125 m.p.h. (205 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 970 mb.<\/p>\n
The structure of Hurricane Guillermo appeared to become less organized on Saturday.\u00a0 There are fewer thunderstorms and the spiral bands appear to be weaker.\u00a0 Guillermo is nearing water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 27\u00b0C, and it will gradually move over even cooler water.\u00a0 Westerly winds in the upper levels appear to be generating some vertical wind shear over the northern portion of the circulation.\u00a0 Guillermo is still producing upper level divergence near the center of circulation, but the divergence appears to less over the western half of the hurricane.\u00a0 The circulation may be pulling some drier more stable air into the western part of the circulation.\u00a0 Guillermo will be moving into a less favorable environment and weakening is likely.<\/p>\n
A subtropical ridge is steering Guillermo toward the west-northwest and that general motion is expected to continue during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Guillermo could approach the Big Island of Hawaii in about four days.\u00a0 It is likely to be a tropical storm at that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
