According to the latest data Hurricane Fausto became a Category 2 storm Friday reaching higher speeds. Wind speeds reached 100 mph as measured by satellites detected by radar. Current 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 but still caution advised. The risk of heavy damage dropped significantly but big waves persisted a problem. Shorelines will see 15-foot surf through the weekend that could affect coastal activities for locals. The storm moves west now at a steady pace and may influence marine traffic. It could come close to Hawaii possibly by Tuesday or Wednesday based on current motion. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center continuously keeps tracking it as it evolves.
