Cleveland Akron, OH, July 24, 2026 —
A new tropical storm, Genevieve, has formed in the Pacific Ocean, while Hurricane Fausto has intensified to a Category 2 storm. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is closely monitoring both systems as they progress, with increasing potential for significant weather impacts in affected regions.
Hurricane Fausto, currently a Category 2 storm, is forecast to approach the Hawaiian Islands. Concurrently, Tropical Storm Genevieve is projected to gain strength. The NHC is urging residents and officials in the potential path of these storms to stay informed about their development.
The NHC highlights the escalating risks of wind and rainfall impacts associated with these tropical cyclones in the region surrounding the Hawaiian Islands. Residents are advised to prepare for possible severe weather conditions.
In addition to the direct threats to the islands, Hurricane Fausto is also expected to generate swells that could lead to dangerous surf and rip currents along the coast of southern California. Coastal communities in this area are advised to exercise caution when near the ocean.
Further updates on the track and intensity of both Tropical Storm Genevieve and Hurricane Fausto will be provided by the National Hurricane Center as the situations evolve.
