Two tropical cyclones are swirling across the ocean southeast of Hawaiʻi, but forecasters don't expect them to cause any issues for the islands. Hurricane Iona formed Monday southeast of Honolulu. Tropical Storm Keli formed not long after.
Shortly after Iona formed, Tropical Storm Keli also took shape. Both storms are considered part of the Central Pacific season. Meanwhile, two more named storms could join them in the coming days as NHC meteorologists monitor two disturbances in the Eastern Pacific.
