The cards show the path and forecasts of Hurricane Kiko in the Pacific as it moves west to Hawaii

Hurricane Kiko, a powerful category 4 storm, swirls in the Pacific Ocean And head west in a direction to Hawaii.

The forecasters warned that storm swelling could reach the Hawaiian islands by the end of the weekend and cause surfing and mortal rip currents.

Friday at 11 p.m. Friday, the east, the storm was located about 1,130 miles in the east-south-east of Hilo, Hawaii, and 1,335 miles in the east-south-east of Honolulu, reported the National Hurricane Center, based in Miami, in its last opinion. Its maximum supported winds exceeded 140 mph, and it moved to the west-northwest to around 12 mph.

The storm should continue to strengthen on Saturday before a “progressive weakening” begins on Sunday, the forecasters said.

No coastal watch or warning was in effect on Friday.

While Kiko travels slowly, Hawaii is becoming more and more in his line of view for potential direct impacts such as winds and precipitation from Monday. The main threats are scheduled for Tuesday, according to Nikki Nolan, meteorologist for CBS News and Stations.

On Friday, Hawaii governor Sylvia Luke said on Friday a state of emergency due to the possible bad weather posed by Kiko. “We urge residents and visitors to monitor updates, follow the official advice and prepare us accordingly,” said Luke.

The National Weather Service in Honolulu monitors the possible impacts of Kiko and anticipates strong precipitation leading to potential floods – as well as high surfs – at the beginning of next week.

Another card, from the National Hurricane Center, shows that tropical winds could start to affect Hawaii on Monday.

However, as the CBS affiliate in Honolulu, it is too early to say where the storm will take place in relation to Hawaii, because the forecasting track can change.
