The storm's weakening will reduce direct impact but creates hazardous surf and rip currents, prompting emergency prescription refills for TRICARE beneficiaries in five counties.
- On Tuesday, Tropical Storm Kiko is rapidly weakening as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands and is forecast to pass well north of the chain, keeping rain and wind away.
- Kiko weakened after being downgraded late Monday night and is moving west-northwest at 14–15 mph, spreading moisture over Hawaii Monday night and Tuesday.
- Hurricane Hunter data show Kiko with maximum sustained winds 45 mph and centered roughly 350 miles east-northeast of Hilo, Hawaii, while High Surf Warnings cover east-facing shores of Big Island, Maui, Molokai, Kauai, and Oahu.
- The state declared a state of emergency on Friday, authorizing the Hawaii National Guard to assist and allowing TRICARE beneficiaries in five counties emergency prescription refills, DHA said.
- Despite weakening, Kiko still poses surf and flooding threats as isolated pop-up showers could produce localized flash flooding, and the National Hurricane Center tracks another Pacific tropical wave with an 80% chance of formation.
