Post-Tropical Cyclone Hone Discussion Number  42
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI   CP012024
1100 AM HST Sun Sep 01 2024

Hone is now classified as a post-tropical cyclone, so this is the
final advisory. Geostationary satellite imagery reveals that the
low-level circulation center of Hone has become indistinguishable
this morning as it was absorbed into large band of convection
surrounding a deep cutoff low. The center of this merged system,
which now reflects the location of the dominant extratropical cutoff
low, jumped westward considerably as the circulation of Hone was
absorbed. An ASCAT pass from yesterday evening showed a broad area
of gale force winds within a large convective band, and this was
incorporated into this final forecast for the merged extratropical
low.

The post-tropical low of former Hone will continue to move westward
and lose forward motion over the next 12 hours, eventually stalling
tonight as it becomes aligned with the upper-level low. The deep
low will then drift northward near the International Date Line on
days 2 through 4 and likely dissipate by day 5. The post-tropical
low is expected to maintain gale force winds in the northern
semicircle for the next couple of days. If convection does reform
over the center, there is a chance that post-tropical Hone could
regain tropical characteristics over the next 2 days or so. The
Central Pacific Hurricane Center will closely monitor for
redevelopment and the need to resume bulletins east of the
International Date Line.

Since Hone is now a post-tropical low and this is the final
advisory from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, the Tropical
Storm Watch for Kure and Midway Atolls has been discontinued.
However, these atolls could experience gale force winds during the
next couple of days. Additional information can be found in High
Seas forecasts issued by the National Weather Service in Honolulu,
Hawaii under AWIPS header HFOHSFNP and WMO header FZPN20 PHFO. If
this system redevelops west of the International Date Line,
bulletins would be issued by RSMC Tokyo, Japan.
