132.0W · Published Aug 14, 2026
Tropical Storm Hernan, currently located at 16.8°N and 132.0°W, has weakened to an initial intensity of 35 knots (40 mph).
The storm's convection has significantly diminished, leaving only cirrus debris clouds near its center.

Impact & Risks

Tropical Storm Hernan poses minimal immediate risk to land as it is located far from any populated areas in the eastern Pacific. However, the storm's remnants could bring localized heavy rainfall and rough seas to marine areas along its projected path. Mariners in the region should exercise caution as Hernan continues to weaken and move westward. The storm is not expected to regain strength due to unfavorable atmospheric conditions, including strong wind shear.
