Hurricane Genevieve roars in the Pacific as Fausto weakens to a tropical storm near Hawaii
Genevieve briefly became the East Pacific’s first Category 5 hurricane in two years as Fausto weakened and sent large surf toward Hawaii.
- Major Hurricane Genevieve briefly reached Category 5 intensity early Monday, the first in the East Pacific region in two years, and continues roaring in the Pacific Ocean far from land about 515 miles southwest of Baja California.
- The Miami-based National Hurricane Center reported maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, with swells from Genevieve causing "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" affecting parts of Mexico's southwestern coast and Baja California peninsula.
- Farther northwest in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Fausto weakened from hurricane status Monday evening, carrying maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and positioned about 340 miles east-northeast of Hilo, Hawaii, traveling west-northwest at 15 mph.
- Forecasters expect Tropical Storm Fausto to pass north of Hawaii, though residents should monitor the storm's progress for impacts as it remains expected to stay far out to sea on a course roughly parallel with the Mexico coast.
- Genevieve is expected to fluctuate in intensity before weakening later in the week; no coastal watches or warnings were in effect despite swells affecting Mexico's southwestern coast.
