Tropical Storm Ivette weakens, could bring more muggy, rainy weather
Tropical Storm Ivette is weakening as it turned northwest over cooler waters and wind shear tears it apart.
It still remains on track, however, for whatever is left of the storm to bring humid conditions and rain to the state as early as Wednesday.
At 11 a.m., Ivette had sustained winds of 50 mph and was moving west-northwest at 12 mph, about 1,305 miles east of Hilo.
It is still too early to predict the exact effects of Ivette on Hawaii’s weather next week.
But the storm is expected to bring some surf to east shores Monday through Thursday.
National Hurricane Center forecasters are also watching an area of thunderstorms off the southwestern coast of Mexico that has an 80 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone this weekend.
