Tropical Storm Darby is forecast to weaken in the next several days as it moves westward in the Pacific Ocean.
Late this week and into the weekend, a much weaker Darby could bring enhanced moisture and high surf to Hawaii.
Here's the latest on Darby:
- Darby was located just under 1,000 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, as of late Wednesday morning.
- Darby is forecast to pass near or north of Hawaii's Big Island this weekend. Given that the system will encounter increasing wind shear by then, it should be much weaker.
- Increasing surf is likely to arrive in the Hawaiian Islands starting late Thursday.
- This weekend, Darby could enhance moisture in Hawaii, which may lead to increased rainfall.
- Check back for updates the next few days on potential impacts from Darby.
- Darby reached its peak intensity as a Category 3 last Saturday afternoon. According to Dr. Phil Klotzbach, Darby is the fifth consecutive east Pacific use of the name "Darby" that has reached major hurricane status.
