Meteorological history
The NHC began monitoring a large area of disturbed weather in association with a tropical wave well southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula on July 13. After crossing into the central Pacific, the disturbance gradually organized, and it acquired enough organization to be declared a tropical depression at 00:00 UTC on July 17. An hour later, data from an ASCAT pass revealed winds up to 45 mph (75 km/h), and the depression was upgraded to Tropical Storm Wali. Steered west-northwestward around a mid-level ridge to the cyclone's northeast, increasing wind shear caused the cloud pattern associated with Wali to become disorganized; at 18:00 UTC on July 18, the system was downgraded to a tropical depression, and by 00:00 UTC the following afternoon, Wali was declared a remnant low after having been devoid of deep convection. On July 19–20, the remnant moisture of Wali triggered a major rainfall event across Hawaii.

Preparations and impact
Although Wali had no impacts as a tropical cyclone, its remnants triggered a major rainfall event over Hawaii. On July 19, a Flash Flood Watch was posted for the entire Hawaiian Islands, before being discontinued on July 21. Flood advisories were also issued for the Big Island and Oahu.
