Hurricane Fausto, currently about 1,645 miles east of Hilo with 100 mph sustained winds, is forecast to approach the Hawaiian Islands early-to-mid next week. Wind and rainfall impacts are an increasing risk, though the exact location and magnitude remain uncertain.
- Fausto is projected to pass near or just north of the Hawaiian Islands around Tuesday, July 28–29, potentially as a tropical storm.
- Maximum sustained winds increased to 100 mph as of the July 23 update, with tropical storm-force winds extending up to 185 miles from the center.
- No coastal watches or warnings are currently in effect for Hawaii related to Fausto.
- Forecasters expect the storm to gradually weaken due to increasing wind shear and dry air, but it is forecast to remain a tropical cyclone through Tuesday.
- Property owners and guests should continue monitoring official updates as the forecast track and intensity could shift in coming days.
