A major hurricane named Genevieve is located in the Pacific Ocean well away from land and is continuing to roar as of Monday evening, according to both outlets. At the same time, Tropical Storm Fausto is weakening. Multiple reports say Fausto has dropped to tropical-storm strength near Hawaii, while still producing effects locally.
The Winnipeg Free Press and New York Post both link the two systems in timing, describing Genevieve as remaining far offshore and not directly affecting land. By contrast, Fausto is described as being closer to Hawaii and associated with hazardous conditions, including large surf. The outlets’ accounts focus on the change in Fausto’s intensity and the near-Hawaii impacts, while not providing matching details on exact storm tracks, wind speeds, or forecast changes beyond the reported weakening.
Overall, the reports depict a scenario in which a distant major hurricane persists in the Pacific while a separate system near Hawaii transitions to a weaker tropical storm but continues to influence local weather.
