TS Huko (pronounced Hoo-ko) is located well south of Oahu moving to the west northwest. Current sustained winds are 55kts (which may be a bit generous) and the storm is under west to southwesterly shear. The shear should let up in about 24 hours allowing for slow intensification. Huko should pass near Johnston Atoll on Wednesday as a minimal Cat I hurricane. Here is a link to the weather reports out of Johnston:

Hurricane Huko now southwest of Johnston Atoll moving to the west northwest with sustained winds of 75 knots. On Sunday the storm will cross the dateline and begin a more northwestward movement, passing near or just south of Wake Island late Monday as an 85-90 knot cyclone. Under the influence of a strong Aleutian low, Huko will be drawn northward and then northeastward, again crossing the dateline and passing well north of the Hawaiian Islands late next week. Huko should rapidly become at that time. Huko certainly will become one of the more longer lasting Central Pacific systems. Here is a link to the weather conditions at Wake Island:
