2023 Pacific Hurricane forecast: "heightened risks for Mexico and Hawaii."

[MyManao]

Can anyone explain to me why the center of the hurricane is way south of our island and it's calm and lovely waking up here on this Tuesday morning in Puna.
While the islands north of us are experiencing high winds at this same time that are said to be caused by this same hurricane?

From an earlier post..

As to wind's interaction with the islands, it is interesting to note how, again, on windy.com, we see the wind, graphically, altered by its interaction with the island as the current storm passes to our south.

Here is a screenshot of the windy.com site from mid day on the 8th, clearly showing the impacts of each island on the incoming wind..



I particularly like how the different islands effects the wind.. with the bigger/taller the landmass the greater the lessoning of the wind's impacts, and larger the windward side buffer zone created. In areas where the wind is funneled it's greater, and in places that are right in the middle of the Maunas, like Hilo, there isn't any wind at all.
