Hurricane Fausto Strengthens Into Category 2 Storm, Expected to Approach Hawaiian Islands Next Week
Forecasters say the storm could bring dangerous surf and rip currents to Hawaii even as it weakens over cooler waters.
- Hurricane Fausto continues moving westward across the East Pacific with 80 mph maximum sustained winds, with officials tracking its long-range path toward the Central Pacific and potential impact on Hawaii next week.
- Swells generated by Fausto are affecting the Baja California Peninsula and Southern California coast, creating life-threatening surf and dangerous rip currents through Sunday.
- The National Weather Service office in San Diego warned of "elevated surf" and "strong currents" for beachgoers, while the National Hurricane Center projects Fausto will weaken to a tropical storm Saturday or Sunday.
- Hawaii residents should monitor the storm's progress as it approaches the islands next week as a tropical storm, with the Honolulu weather office noting conditions "will depend on the eventual track and intensity of Tropical Cyclone Fausto."
- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts an above-normal 2026 eastern Pacific hurricane season with up to 22 named storms, while forecasters also predict a 90% chance a system near Guatemala will develop into a tropical cyclone within seven days.
