Other system JTWC Central Pacific storm 1951 track.png right 180pxA warm-core kona storm transitioned into a tropical cyclone at 0000 UTC on March 21, west of the Necker Island. At that time, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began tracking the storm with winds of 30 mph km/h on 5, or tropical depression strength. The system began traveling eastward, and later to the northeast on March 22. Then, it turned sharply southward towards Hawaii on the same day. The system turned southwest toward the Hawaiian Islands at 0600 UTC of March 25, making its first landfall near Hauula on Oahu at 1200 UTC that day.Tropical system One Best Track ftp://eclipse.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/ibtracs/.original_source/jtwc_cp/bcp011951.txt Joint Typhoon Warning Center dead June 7, 2014Kenneth R.

By six hours later, the system left the island and continued southward. Then, the system slowed down and curved back north toward Oahu. The system made a second landfall on Oahu near Mākaha, just past 0000 UTC on March 28. Later, the system scrapped the northwestern coast of the island. It re-entered the Pacific six hours later and turned west. The system then sped up and made its last landfall near Kealia, just past 0000 UTC on March 29. The storm moved quickly across the island, and it left the island about six hours later. The JTWC stopped tracking the system east of the island of Nīhoa eighteen hours later, after it had started to move across the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The system has been considered a tropical or an extratropical cyclone. The JTWC and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) both consider the storm to be a tropical cyclone. However, the Regional Specialized Meteorological Centers for the eastern north Pacific, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) do not include the system in their archives. Due to this, the system was not considered tropical or subtropical officially. On March 25, tropical storm warnings were posted for the Hawaiian Islands. Winds of 60 mph km/h on 5 were reported in Oahu as the storm came near the island. In Honolulu, 6 in cm in of rain was reported.Simpson R. H.
