MIAMI– MIAMI (AP) — Hurricane Genevieve raged in the Pacific Ocean far from land Tuesday morning, just as weakened Tropical Storm Fausto brought big waves to Hawaii.

Genevieve is a Category 4 hurricane, after briefly reaching Category 5 status early Monday, the first in the Eastern Pacific region in two years, the National Hurricane Center said. It was expected to remain offshore on a course roughly parallel to the coast of Mexico.

Genevieve had maximum sustained winds of 140 mph (220 kph), according to the Miami-based hurricane center. The center of Genevieve was located about 515 miles (830 kilometers) southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula and was heading northwest at 10 mph (17 kph).

There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect, but the hurricane center said storm surge, which likely caused “life-threatening surf conditions and rip currents,” was affecting parts of Mexico’s southwestern coast and the Baja California peninsula.

Genevieve was expected to fluctuate in intensity before weakening later in the week.

Further northwest in the Pacific, Hurricane Fausto has weakened into a tropical storm as it continues its path in the general direction of the Hawaiian Islands. Forecasters said Fausto is expected to pass north of Hawaii, but residents should still monitor the storm’s progress for impacts.

Large waves and strong currents were increasing on east-facing coasts along the Hawaiian Islands, the hurricane center said. Fausto had maximum sustained winds of 100 kph (65 mph). It was centered about 340 miles (545 kilometers) east-northeast of Hilo, Hawaii, and was moving west-northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
