While the core of Hurricane Fausto is forecast to remain north of Hawaii, there is still a risk of impacts depending on any shifts in its track. The strongest winds and heaviest rainfall are concentrated in the northern half of the system, which could affect the islands if the storm moves slightly southward. Additionally, large ocean swells generated by Fausto may produce dangerous waves along east-facing shores starting late Sunday. Residents should remain vigilant as small changes in the storm's path or intensity could significantly alter the level of impact.
