On February 17, the FMS noted the formation of Tropical Disturbance 08F between American Samoa and Niue. The system was poorly organised, with a high wind shear environment displacing convection to the northeast of the low-level center of circulation as the disturbance moved southeast to east-southeast. The JTWC considered the disheveled cyclone as subtropical in nature, remaining in an environment hostile to increased organisation. By February 18, the JTWC declared the disturbance to have dissipated. Later that day, the center of 08F continued past the 25th parallel south, leading the FMS to issue their final tropical disturbance summary on the highly sheared system.
