Ex-Hurricane Oho

Remnants of Hurricane Oho to Bring High Winds, Heavy Rain to Southeast Alaska, British Columbia
 

Hurricane Oho became a strong non-tropical cyclone that formed over the central north Pacific Ocean. It is quickly moving north-northeast toward Alaska and British Columbia, which will cause severe weather in the area. It is a non-tropical cyclone because the water in the ocean isn't warm enough to support a tropical cyclone.

Portions of southeastern Alaska will see wind gusts of over 60 mph. Oho took a peculiar track to the northeast. “Although tropical systems do, on occasion, move to the northeast in the central Pacific, since 1949, no late season (October or later) system has formed south of Hawaii and moved to the northeast.” On average the central Pacific basin sees an average of 5 tropical systems in a given season compared to the northwest Pacific whose average is 26 systems.
