[edit] Storm History
A developing cold core low absorbed the renmant circulation of Hurricane Ilsa on September 2, 1975. Convection increased rapidly, and by the 5th, it had enough convection to be called a tropical depression. This system was located 800 miles northeast of Honolulu, Hawaii. It moved westward, reaching tropical storm strength the next day. It began to move rapidly northeastward. An eye was evident at this time, but it was not until it reached 40ยบ north on the 4th did it become a hurricane. It weakened to a tropical storm on the 5th, and became extratropical that night, located less than 300 nautical miles southwest of Juneau, Alaska. The extratropical low moved southeastward, retaining its identity until it reached Montana, where it was absorbed by a front. This is the farthest north an Eastern Pacific tropical cyclone has ever been in recorded history.
