A storm sending large, destructive surf and locally damaging winds is approaching the Hawaiian Islands this weekend.

This expected storm will undergo 'rapid cyclogenesis' which means it will strengthen quickly into Sunday. The storm will only pass about 200 miles to the northeast of Kauai and Oahu while moving slowly Sunday. Continue to stay with WeatherNation as we bring you the latest details on this storm.
