NEKI DISSIPATING AS IT ACCELERATES INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC
NOTE: Hurricane Rick whcih we were tracking has also dissipated - there were been itinerary changes issued for that storm. <Follow Hurricane Rick - (click here)>
Much of the focus the past week has been on the Tropical Storms in the Atlantic. That doesn't mean that the Pacific is exempt from tropical storms and hurricanes this time of year. We have been watching that area closely also.
Once the NHC begins to monitor a storm, we'll add RSS feeds to this blog so that you can monitor the storm between posts. When developments become significant, we'll write a detailed article to help you plan your cruise vacation in the area.
UPDATE: 500 PM HST MON OCT 26 2009... NEKI DISSIPATING AS IT ACCELERATES INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC...
THE REMNANTS OF NEKI WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE RAPIDLY NORTH-NORTHEAST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. WEAKENING IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL DISSIPATION TONIGHT.
NO FURTHER UPDATES WILL BE PROVIDED ON THIS STORM
Local Weather Statements
Norwegian Cruise Line's Pride of America is the only ship in the area at the time, and is out of harms way, so there have been no ship advisories issued.
