The National Hurricane Center has warned that wind and rainfall impacts are growing, but exact location and severity remain uncertain. Fausto is roughly 1,300 miles west of Baja California and 1,600 miles east of Hawaii, with winds near 100 mph. Swells are triggering dangerous surf and rip tides in southern California, while Bertha has dissipated after a Gulf Coast impact.
Hurricane Genevieve remains a Category 4 storm offshore in the East Pacific, with winds around 140-160 mph. It is weakening as it moves northwest, while swells are causing life-threatening surf along southern Baja California and the Mexican coast. Fausto has weakened toward a tropical storm and Hawaii monitors for impacts.
Hernan and Potential Tropical Cyclone One-C are moving west. Hernan remains around 40 mph with no tropical-storm status yet; One-C is forecast to bring heavy rain, strong winds and dangerous surf to the Hawaiian Islands late Friday into Saturday. Officials warn of possible flooding and mudslides.
