Hawaii is keeping a wary eye on two hurricanes churning in the central and eastern Pacific.
Published 9:29 AM EDT Jul 31, 2019
Erick, downgraded from a Category 4 hurricane to a Category 3, was packing winds of 125 mph as it approached the state from the east on Wednesday, bringing wet conditions into the weekend. The center was expected to pass just south of the Big Island on Friday. The center says Erick should begin losing strength Wednesday and gradually weaken back into a tropical storm before sliding south of Hawaii on Thursday and Friday.
Flossie was 2,000 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, moving west-northwest at 15 mph with sustained winds near 80 mph. The center says Flossie, the fourth hurricane of the Pacific season, could strengthen during the next two to three days.
