Pali Becomes Earliest Central Pacific Tropical Storm on Record

January is not typically a month in which tropical systems develop in the central Pacific, but Tropical Storm Pali was named Thursday afternoon, becoming the earliest central Pacific tropical storm on record.

This is on the heels of a historically active 2015 tropical season in the Pacific Ocean, including a Tropical Depression Nine-C, which formed near the end of the year and dissipated on Jan. 1, 2016.
