Hurricane Fausto, currently moving west-northwest across the Central Pacific, is weakening as it approaches Hawaii.
As of late Sunday night, the storm was located approximately 670 miles east of Hilo with maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (129 km/h).

Impact & Risks

Hurricane Fausto is not expected to make landfall in Hawaii, but its effects will be felt along the coast. Dangerous surf and strong currents will impact east-facing shores through Tuesday, creating hazardous conditions for swimmers and beachgoers. Residents and visitors are advised to exercise caution near the water. Hurricane Genevieve, while a powerful Category 5 storm, remains far from Hawaii and is not expected to pose any direct risks to the islands at this time.
