Two tropical cyclones were swirling across the ocean southeast of Hawaii after developing on Monday but were not expected to cause any issues for the islands. Hurricane Iona is the first named storm of the hurricane season in the central Pacific and emerged Sunday from a tropical depression to become a Category 1 hurricane in roughly a day.

The National Hurricane Center said Monday, July 28, it is keeping tabs on four systems in the Pacific Ocean, including Tropical Storm Iona.

Hurricane Iona and Tropical Storm Keli are moving west well south of the state. There is also third area the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is tracking for tropical cyclone development east of Keli.

The Central Pacific records its strongest hurricane in almost two years and two concurrent named storms for the first time in a decade.

Two tropical cyclones are swirling across the ocean southeast of Hawaiʻi, but forecasters don't expect them to cause any issues for the islands. Hurricane Iona formed Monday southeast of Honolulu. Tropical Storm Keli formed not long after.

Downpours capable of triggering localized flash flooding will spread into parts of Louisiana and Texas to end the week. A budding tropical rainstorm may cause winds and fire risk to increase in Hawaii.
