Overview
- Genevieve weakened to a Category 2 hurricane and moved farther into the open eastern Pacific, with SMN reporting sustained winds near 155 km/h and the center about 1,135 km west-southwest of Cabo San Lucas.
- Forecasters from the National Hurricane Center and Mexico’s SMN say Genevieve will continue losing tropical characteristics and could be a tropical storm by Friday and post-tropical by the fourth forecast day.
- Tropical Cyclone Fausto has lost organized convection and was downgraded to a tropical depression after NOAA buoy, satellite and reconnaissance data showed sustained winds below tropical-storm strength.
- Despite their weakening, both systems are producing hazardous marine conditions, with warnings for elevated surf, dangerous rip currents and rain bands that are expected to bring heavy showers to parts of Mexico and localized impacts in Hawaiʻi.
- The eastern Pacific season remains active with seven named storms so far and official outlooks projecting about 18 to 21 cyclones for 2026, a tally linked to warm ocean conditions that favor more development.
