Hurricane Fausto, excerpts from Hili Trib Herald:
Fausto has become the first hurricane of the 2026 hurricane season and has a forecast track that could bring it toward Hawaii.
At 5 p.m. Hawaii time, Fausto was located about 745 miles southwest of the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California Peninsula, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
Fausto, the sixth named storm of 2026 hurricane season, is moving to the northwest at 9 mph with a turn toward the west-northwest expected by Wednesday. That would potentially put Fausto in motion toward Hawaii.
Steady to rapid strengthening is expected during the next couple of days, with Fausto forecast to near major hurricane intensity by Wednesday.
The current projected track has Fausto, still at hurricane strength, approaching the Central Pacific Basin at 140 degrees West longitude on Saturday. The track would have Fausto at about 20 degrees North latitude, which means it would be moving toward Hilo.
