MIAMI - Forecasters say a tropical depression has formed far south of the Hawaiian Islands and that it is expected to strengthen over the next two days.
The National Hurricane Center says the depression's center Sunday afternoon is about 905 miles south-southeast of Honolulu. It is moving toward the west-northwest at about 15 mph.
Winds are about 30 mph with higher gusts.
Meanwhile, dangerous Hurricane Rick raged across open seas and is the strongest eastern North Pacific storm in more than a decade.
The hurricane's winds had decreased but were still a howling 160 mph Sunday.
