Hurricane Kiko is currently a Category 4 hurricane about 1,200 miles east-southeast of Hawaii. It’s expected to arrive at the islands as a tropical storm on Monday. This will bring life-threatening surf and rip currents, as well as other impacts. Forecasters expect the hurricane to begin weakening this weekend.
