Tropical Storm Pena Weakens While Continuing Westward in Central Pacific

Tropical Storm Pena in the Central Pacific has weakened, with its sustained winds now at 45 mph. Satellite observations indicate the storm's vertical coherence is unraveling and it has become more tilted. Pena is projected to maintain a westward trajectory for the next two to four days, an important development for maritime activities and any landmasses that might lie in its path. Its weakening trend could mitigate potential impacts.
