While the storm that was Hurricane Ernesto races across the Atlantic toward the U.K., Hawaii could be in the path of a tropical storm in the days ahead.

00:00Our attention for the tropics is kind of shifting away from the Atlantic for a time.
00:04We still have what is left of Ernesto.
00:08It's racing into the British Isles here with some wind and rain.
00:12Here it comes. I mean, we are tracking some of the heaviest rain pushing in through parts of the UK.
00:22And that's where we're going to be tracking some high winds as well, Jeff.
00:25So here it comes. We are tracking some very cold and windy weather.
00:30But in the Pacific Basin, all eyes are on Gilma right now.
00:36But not just Gilma, another thing.
00:38Yeah, in fact, this is a pretty unimpressive little thing off to the west.
00:41But that next disturbance is what will become our next tropical storm, most likely Hector, I believe, right?
00:47Yes, Hector is next on that list.
00:49Heading to Hawaii.
00:50Hector is looking to at least is deciding it wants to make a pit stop in Hawaii.
00:55And with that, unfortunately, we could be tracking some heavy rain, too.
00:59Absolutely.
