Hawaii Faces Distant Hurricane Nolo as Baja Prepares for Hurricane Polo

Why it matters locally: The proximity of Hurricane Polo to Baja California could lead to increased surf and rip current risks along Southern California's coastline.

Hurricane Nolo is expected to continue gaining strength and move northwest by Sunday night. The National Hurricane Center reported the storm's center would remain south and southwest of the Hawaiian Islands. Separately, Hurricane Polo has intensified into a major hurricane. It is moving towards Mexico's Baja California peninsula.
