Early reports Hurricane Fausto became a Category 2 storm Friday with winds surpassing thresholds. Wind speeds reached 100 mph and kept rising detected by radar. Latest forecasts show it weakening before hitting Hawaii or shifting north likely 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 considerably but big waves continued a problem. Shorelines will see 15-foot surf through the weekend posing threats to swimmers for locals. The storm moves west now as expected and could affect shipping lanes. It could come close to Hawaii possibly by Tuesday or Wednesday based on current motion. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center continuously keeps tracking it with regular updates.
