A weakening Tropical Storm Douglas moved away from Hawaii on Monday.\u00a0 At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Douglas was located at latitude 22.9\u00b0N and longitude 163.3\u00b0W which put it about 200 miles (325 km) east-southeast of French Frigate Shoals.\u00a0 Douglas was moving toward the west at 18 m.p.h. (30 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 70 m.p.h. (110 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 993 mb.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Douglas weakened on Monday.\u00a0 An upper level trough west of Hawaii produced southerly winds which blew toward the top of Douglas’ circulation.\u00a0 Those winds caused strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The wind shear caused former Hurricane Douglas to weaken even though it was moving over water where the Sea Surface Temperature was near 27\u00b0C.\u00a0 The low level center of circulation was surrounded by showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 The only thunderstorms were occurring on the northern periphery of the tropical storm.\u00a0 Bands in the other parts of Douglas consisted of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out about 100 miles (160 km) from the center of circulation.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Douglas will move south of a subtropical high pressure system over the North Pacific Ocean.\u00a0 The high will steer Douglas toward the west during the next few days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Tropical Storm Douglas will move across the International Date Line and over the Western North Pacific Ocean later this week.\u00a0 The upper level trough will continue to cause vertical wind shear and Douglas will continue to weaken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
