An out-of-season tropical depression intensified into a tropical storm this morning in the Central Pacific far south of Hawaii.

Tropical Storm Pali comes a little more than a month after the end of the official hurricane season on Nov. 30 and nearly five months before the start of the 2016 season.

At 5 p.m., Pali was about 1,430 miles southwest of Honolulu and 805 miles south of Johnston Island with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph.

Tropical storm force winds extended 105 miles from the center.

Forecasters said the storm is too far away to have any impact on Hawaii’s weather.

It was moving north-northwest at 7 mph and is expected to meander in the area for the next several days as it is steered by conflicting areas of high and low pressure and winds.

The storm system is the first tropical cyclone to form in the Central Pacific this year and is also the earliest storm on record, beating Tropical Storm Wiona, which formed on Jan. 13, 1989.

But it is actually the second tropical cyclone this year.

Tropical Depression 9C formed on New Year’s Eve in the Central Pacific near the equator and the International date line, but it weakened and dissipated on New Year’s Day.

Forecasters said it is unusual, but not unprecedented to see tropical cyclones outside of the official season, especially in an El Nino year.
