Overview

• The National Hurricane Center placed Kiko about 90 miles northeast of Honolulu with sustained winds near 40 mph, moving west and staying north of the islands.
• Swells peaking across the western islands are producing life-threatening surf and rip currents, with high surf warnings in effect for Oahu and Kauai.
• Surf warnings for the Big Island were canceled after lower-than-expected swells, though hazardous conditions persist in exposed waters.
• Rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is expected across most islands, with localized heavier downpours and a risk of isolated thunderstorms and flash flooding on windward areas.
• Gradual weakening continues toward post-tropical status, and the NHC is also monitoring an eastern Pacific disturbance with a 90% chance of developing into a tropical depression this week.
