The hurricane center gave it only a 10 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression over the next five days, saying it would likely merge with a frontal system by Friday.
The storm is forecast to weaken as it approaches the state as a tropical storm.
“Impacts to Hawaii will be very dependent upon the track and speed of the system, which is highly uncertain this far out in time”, forecasters said. Wind strength continues to increase and continued strengthening is expected to continue over the next 48 hours.
As of 5 a.m. Thursday, Guillermo is about 1,980 miles east-southeast of Hilo and moving west-northwest at 13 mph. Chances of development over the next five days are 20 percent.
Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Florida, cautioned that extended forecasts have a high degree of uncertainty.
Packing 45 miles per hour winds, Guillermo is in a moist, unstable environment with 84 degree water conducive for development over the next several days.
