Early reports Hurricane Fausto became a Category 2 storm Friday reaching higher speeds. Wind speeds reached 100 mph as measured by satellites measured by aircraft. Latest forecasts show it weakening before hitting Hawaii or shifting north potentially as a tropical storm early next week. Hawaii officials told people to finish storm prep Friday in anticipation of impacts yet urged vigilance. The risk of heavy damage dropped substantially but big waves remained a problem. Shorelines will see 15-foot surf through the weekend and hazardous conditions along the coast. The storm moves west now slowly and may influence marine traffic. It could come close to Hawaii potentially by Tuesday or Wednesday based on current motion. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center round the clock keeps tracking it throughout its path.
