Hurricane Crissie was the third named storm and first hurricane of the 2007 Pacific hurricane season. Forming from an Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) disturbance, Crissie went on to become a Category 3 hurricane on August 28. Strengthening wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures (SST) meant that Crissie weakened back to a tropical storm the next day. The storm rapidly weakened as it made landfall on Hawaii. As it became extratropical, it turned to the west-northwest and then to the northwest. It moved a lot quicker by August 31, with forward speeds nearing 39 mph. At the same time, ex-Crissie turned to the north towards Alaska.
