Madeline has moved into the central Pacific Ocean basin and could impact Hawaii by Wednesday. There will likely be an increase in high surf across Hawaii, but rain and wind may also be impacts depending on the exact track and intensity of the storm.

Here's the latest from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center:
- Tropical Storm Madeline was located nearly 900 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, as of Sunday afternoon.
- The system will move near or south of Hawaii by Wednesday or Thursday (local time) and could be a tropical storm at that time.
- Hawaii residents and visitors should be aware of the latest updates and make necessary preparations if Madeline targets the islands.
- It's too soon to tell what kind of rain and wind impacts to expect in Hawaii, as that will depend on the exact track and intensity of Madeline. The Big Island seems most likely to see rain and wind impacts, if any.
- High surf is likely no matter what.
