Soon after Calvin rapidly intensified into the eastern Pacific’s first major hurricane of the 2023 season, it began to weaken Friday night and will continue to unwind into next week as it pushes westward toward Hawaii. “The system will still hold together enough to bring tropical rainstorm conditions to the islands by Wednesday,” said AccuWeather Meteorologists.
Calvin entered a zone that was highly favorable for intensification late this past week with water temperatures in the 80s F and light winds that surrounded the system. The hurricane peaked as a Category 3 system with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph on Friday.
