Hurricane Marie generated strong swells, heavy rain and dangerous rip currents along Southern California beaches, from Long Beach to Malibu. LiveNOW's Andy Mac got an update on conditions from Rachel Aragon at FOX 11 Los Angeles.
Powerful swells from former Hurricane Marie are washing over beaches and walkways while creating life-threatening surf and rip currents along the Southern California coast.
President Donald Trump met with Ryder Williams on Monday, a 16-year-old lifeguard who was seen rescuing a child in the California surf last month.
Tropical Storm Lala is lashing Hawaii's Big Island with heavy rain and dangerous winds, forcing a state of emergency and raising the specter of the first hurricane landfall there in more than 150 years.

Tropical Storm Lala is lashing Hawaii's Big Island with heavy rain and dangerous winds, forcing a state of emergency and raising the specter of the first hurricane landfall there in more than 150 years. By early Saturday morning, Lala sat roughly 110 miles southeast of South Point, the southernmost tip of the Big Island, packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and moving west-northwest at 13 mph. The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane warning for the Big Island, a step forecasters called rare for an island chain that has largely been spared direct landfalls in modern memory. Tropical storm warnings covered Maui County, Oahu, and Kauai County, stretching the threat across the entire state. Gov. Josh Green declared a state of…Open
AI:Tropical Storm Lala has intensified into a hurricane and is currently battering Hawaii's Big Island with torrential rain and dangerous winds, threatening the first direct hurricane landfall in the region since 1871. Governor Josh Green has declared a state of emergency as maximum sustained winds reach 65 mph near South Point, bringing the risk of life-threatening flooding, mudslides, and massive ocean swells exceeding 30 feet. The storm's impact is expected to extend across the entire island chain, with tropical storm warnings in effect for Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. Residents are facing extreme conditions including rainfall projections of up to 25 inches in higher elevations, compounding existing vulnerabilities from previous spring floods…Open
Federal forecasters are tracking two developing disturbances in the Eastern Pacific that could aim tropical weather at Hawaii within the next ten days, a threat amplified by strengthening El Niño conditions that have already produced a Category 5 hurricane this season. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring both areas for potential tropical development, though it […] The post El Niño fuels new tropical threats in the Eastern Pacific, and Hawaii sits in the forecast crosshairs appeared first on American Almanac .
Federal forecasters are tracking two developing disturbances in the Eastern Pacific that could aim tropical weather at Hawaii within the next ten days, a threat amplified by strengthening El Niño conditions that have already produced a Category 5 hurricane this season. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring both areas for potential tropical development, though it currently assigns low odds of organization over the next seven days. But several computer and artificial-intelligence forecast models, including Google's DeepMind model and the European forecast model, project that tropical activity could reach Hawaii roughly between August 14 and 17, Fox Weather reported . NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has flagged the region southeast…Open

Two of the Pacific’s most powerful storms in years, Hurricane Genevieve and Super Typhoon Dolphin, have reached Category 5 and super typhoon status, yet neither system poses a direct threat to land, meteorologists report. Hurricane Genevieve became the first Category 5 hurricane of the 2026 season in the eastern and central Pacific, reaching sustained winds […] The post Pacific storms Genevieve and Dolphin reach rare intensity but threaten no land appeared first on American Almanac .
Two of the Pacific’s most powerful storms in years, Hurricane Genevieve and Super Typhoon Dolphin, have reached Category 5 and super typhoon status, yet neither system poses a direct threat to land, meteorologists report. Hurricane Genevieve became the first Category 5 hurricane of the 2026 season in the eastern and central Pacific, reaching sustained winds of 160 miles per hour before weakening, while Super Typhoon Dolphin intensified near Wake Island and is forecast to become even stronger. Both storms, though remarkable in their strength, are expected to remain far from populated areas, sparing coastal communities from the worst impacts but still generating dangerous ocean conditions. The rapid intensification of these storms marks…Open

Hurricane Genevieve briefly reached Category 5 strength over open Pacific waters Monday morning, becoming the Northern Hemisphere's first major hurricane of the 2026 season while a second storm churns toward Hawaii. Genevieve's maximum sustained winds hit 155 mph early Monday, placing the storm at the top of the Saffir-Simpson scale roughly 520 miles south-southwest of […] The post Hurricane Genevieve hits Category 5 in the East Pacific — the first in two years — but stays far from shore appeared first on American Almanac .
Hurricane Genevieve briefly reached Category 5 strength over open Pacific waters Monday morning, becoming the Northern Hemisphere's first major hurricane of the 2026 season while a second storm churns toward Hawaii. Genevieve's maximum sustained winds hit 155 mph early Monday, placing the storm at the top of the Saffir-Simpson scale roughly 520 miles south-southwest of the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula. No coastal watches or warnings were in effect at the time, and forecasters said the hurricane would remain far out to sea. But swells rolling off the storm were already generating what the National Hurricane Center in Miami called "life-threatening surf and rip current conditions" along Mexico's southwestern coast and…Open
