HAWAII - According to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, Hone's center passed 45-50 miles south of the Big Island on Sunday morning (5:00 AM HST); the closest the center has been from Hawaii as it strengthened to a category 1 hurricane.



Hone has weakened to a tropical storm as of Monday morning. Winds have decreased to 70 mph as it continues to drift westward.

The latest update has Hone gradually moving away from the Big Island, but gusty winds and widespread rainfall remain a threat. Hone is expected to gradually weaken as it moves west of Hawaii through this week. It was the first named storm in the Central Pacific Basin since 2019!

Rainfall amounts have piled up, with some locations picking up more than 2 feet of rainfall!

Some of our top wind reports have maxed out over 90 mph in the last 24 hours.

The Central Pacific doesn't have a list of names for each season like the other basins, since activity here is typically sparse. Instead, there is an ongoing list, which was last used to name Ema in 2019.

Stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest on the tropics!
