Forecasters with the National Hurricane Center have been keeping an eye on an area of showers and thunderstorms in the Eastern Pacific that could briefly form into a subtropical or tropical system by the weekend.
However, the NHC says Invest 90-E, located about 1,000 miles to the east-northeast of Hilo, Hawaii, has become less organized on Friday.

Forecasters say conditions are now unfavorable for further development, so it's unlikely to develop into a subtropical or tropical system.
In the outside chance that it briefly develops, the storm would be called Agatha – the first name on the 2022 tropical cyclone list.
No impacts are expected in Hawaii as the system is projected to track southeast of the Aloha State.
