COURTESY CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER
Tropical Storm Nora is continuing to strengthen and is expected to become a hurricane by tonight, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said.
At 11 a.m., Nora was about 915 miles east-southeast of Hilo and moving west-northwest at 14 mph with maximum sustained winds of 70 mph.
Forecasters say Nora strengthen a bit through Monday into a hurricane and begin to weaken on Tuesday. A toward the northwest by late Monday through Tuesday is expected.
Tropical storm force winds extend outward up to 60 miles, officials said.
Nora was the 14th tropical storm to form in the East Pacific this season.
Nora may bring some surf to east and south shores, but if the storm continues on its projected path, it doesn’t appear likely that there will be direct effects on Hawaii’s weather.
However, forecasters caution that the path and intensity of the storm could still change.
