Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center
The Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center was formerly the center responsible for forecasting Pacific hurricanes in the eastern north Pacific east of 140°W. It was part of the Weather Bureau Forecast Office San Francisco and was based in Redwood City.[1]
The EPHC succeeded the previous forecaster, in Alameda starting in the 1970 season, the same year the Central Pacific Hurricane Center took responsibility for the region west of 140°W to the international date line. It held that role until spring 1988,[2] when it was folded into the National Hurricane Center, which took responsibility for the basin starting in the 1988 season.[3]
