UPDATE No. 4: Calvin now a post-tropical cyclone; Big Island no longer under tropical storm warning

Tropical storm conditions have ended. Locally gusty winds will likely continue today before easing tonight, with additional rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches possible on the Big Island as what was Calvin moves away from the state to the west.

Update No. 3: Calvin strengthens more, now with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph

As of 2 p.m., the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said Calvin was about 220 miles southeast of Hilo and moving west at 21 mph. Tropical storm-force winds now extend up to 140 miles out from the storm’s center, which is still forecast to pass the islands to the south, very close to the Big Island.

Update 3: Tropical Storm Calvin 580 miles east-southeast of Hilo, forecast to pass over Big Island Tuesday night into Wednesday

Tropical Storm Calvin is now 655 miles east of Hilo and moving toward the Big Island at 22 mph with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

UPDATE: Tropical Storm Calvin continues to track toward Hawai’i Islands, 1,150 miles east southeast of Hilo

Calvin is now a tropical storm with sustained winds of 70 mph as it continues on a west northwest path at 16 mph and is located about 1,360 miles east southeast of Hilo.

UPDATE No. 2: Calvin now about 1,540 miles east-southeast of Hilo on the Big Island, still moving west-northwest

The tropical cyclone is now moving slightly faster at about 17 mph and remains over open ocean and on a track that looks to bring it to near or over the Big Island — possibly as a tropical storm — as early as Tuesday next week.

UPDATE No. 2: Calvin maintains Category 3 status; now less than 2,000 miles from Hilo

The National Hurricane Center in Miami, Fla., says swells generated by Calvin are expected to reach Hawaiʻi shores by early next week and “are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.”
