Tropical Storm Lana is going to fight upper-level wind shear and might tear system apart. It will miss Hawaii, but increase surf on Hawaiian beaches of the southern coasts of each island.

Atlantic is still quiet, but August isn't suppose to be. An average of 2-3 storms form in August. A similar trend happened with the 2004 season. No storms for the first two months, and then August came with the first named storm. And the 2004 season was pretty active. Could the 2009 season be a repeat of 2004 after similar patterns so far?

I predict 17-20 named storms. 7 hurricanes and 3 of them major.
Lana is actuallly doing well against Shear but it looks like it's finallly over...or is it?


Well the Dry Air is stronger than Average as well as Shear. Waters are average and there are high Pressures dominiating. I don't think it will be a repeat but could be a bang of devlopment. Plus 17-20 is quite a lot.
 
Hurricane Felicia is a Category 4 135mph system. It's taking direct aim at Hawaii, but dry air is ahead of it plus, high wind shear to tear the system apart. Expected landfall at around Monday evening and expected to weaken drastically down to a minimal Tropical Storm or even a Depression.

There isn't really much left in Enrique. It's a depression, but weakening.
 
An area of Low Pressure is in the area of the Cape Verde islands and bears watching. It has developed showers and thunderstorms in and around the center. Pressure is slowly dropping with this area of Low Pressure. If areas of showers and thunderstorms persists, and/or the circulation becomes a closed circulation, it can develop into a Depression or even a Storm. As for Hawaii, Tropical Storm watches are scattered thoughout the island chain. Which means that Tropical Storm conditions are possible within 48 hours. The watch may become a warning this evening hawaiian time.
