HONOLULU \u2013 Tropical Storm Hernan formed Thursday in the Pacific Ocean and wasn’t threatening land while a different storm system that could bring heavy rain and flooding<\/a> this weekend moved toward Hawaii, forecasters said.<\/p>\n

Hernan was about 1,460 miles (2,350 kilometers) west of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula of Mexico, the National Hurricane Center<\/a> said. Maximum sustained winds were around 40 mph (64 kph) and it was moving west.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, potential Tropical Cyclone One-C was about 775 miles (1,247 kilometers) east-southeast of Hawaii and was forecast to bring heavy rain, high winds and dangerous surf to the Hawaiian Islands starting late Friday.<\/p>\n

Winds were around 40 mph, but it wasn’t organized enough to be considered a tropical storm, the Miami-based center said.<\/p>\n

It could make landfall on the southern part of the Big Island as a tropical storm on Saturday, forecasters said.<\/p>\n

The system could bring rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 centimeters) in the island chain, with up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) possible, forecasters said. That could produce flooding and mudslides, the center said.<\/p>\n

In the Atlantic Ocean<\/a>, Tropical Storm Cristobal weakened into a tropical depression and was expected to dissipate Thursday, the center said. It was about 610 miles (982 kilometers) west of the Azores and didn’t threaten land.<\/p>\n
