The Eastern Pacific Hurricane Center was formerly the Regional Specialized Meteorological 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, United States Navy Fleet Weather Central in Alameda starting in 1970. 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]
