456: 208:, Ana formed from a disturbance that formed in the Central Pacific in mid-October. It rapidly consolidated, and a tropical depression developed by October 13. Aided by favorable conditions, Ana gradually strengthened while moving westward, threatening to pass over the island chain of Hawaii once or several times as indicated by early forecasts. By October 17, it had strengthened to a hurricane south of Hawaii and reached its peak intensity shortly afterwards while also making its closest approach. Afterwards, Ana weakened and began to fluctuate in intensity as it turned to the north and eventually northeast as it rounded a subtropical ridge and interacted with a 782: 170: 417: 34: 1075: 314: 324: 245: 334: 391:
Ana continued to track westwards away from the Hawaiian islands, until it reached the western periphery of the subtropical ridge and as a cold front began to extend towards it. At this point, Ana had weakened to a minimal tropical storm. As it turned northeast, warm sea surface temperatures caused

were issued in advance of the storm. These were later expanded across nearly the whole island chain as Ana nudged more to the west than forecasted. At its closest approach, Ana dropped heavy rain of nearly up to 11 inches (28 cm), although the heaviest rain missed Hawaii by nearly 20 miles
384:, Ana gradually intensified as it tracked northwest towards Hawaii, eventually become a hurricane by 21:00 UTC on October 17, shortly before reaching peak intensity nine hours later at 06:00 UTC on October 18 about 120 miles (190 km) southwest of the 364:

404:. According to the CPHC, this made Ana the longest-lived and longest-tracked tropical cyclone that stayed entirely within the Central Pacific basin. Ana's extratropical remnant continued to race northeastward across the Pacific Ocean, before making landfall in 444:. The threat of the storm forced parks and beaches to close in the state. While passing south of Hawaii, Ana produced heavy rainfall on most of the islands, peaking at 11.67 in (296 mm) at Keaumo on the Big Island. The rains caused the 476:
range of 40–50 mph (64–80 km/h)". Although it was not officially verified, the CPHC decided to treat the report as part of the conditions experienced in the area that was under a tropical storm warning.
