 However, no tropical storm watches or warnings were issued since the CPHC anticipated weakening prior to the storm passing the island.On December 20, Omeka crossed the International Dateline into the northeast Pacific, becoming the first tropical cyclone to do so since Tropical Storm Wene in 2000, 

At the time, Omeka was judged to have existed in the northeast Pacific later than any other storm since the 1960s, when reliable records begin in the basin.However, according to the CPHC's database, there are two possible tropical cyclones in 1903 and 1904 which developed on December 23.
