| I knew the East Pacific was very busy but I didn't know about the Western Pacific. East Pacific has definitely had a lot lately. Much weaker for those entering the Central Pacific so far. Some interesting interaction with Irwin and Hillary is possible. From Irwin's 200am PDT Wednesday discussion: "Some binary interaction with Hilary during the next 48 hours or so should cause Irwin to stall, and then accelerate cyclonically around the southeast through northeast periphery of Hilary on days 4 and 5."

Kulap doesn't have much left, mostly a naked swirl.
