Hurricane Kiko is weakening on a forecast path expected to take it north of Hawaii

HONOLULU (AP) — A weakening Hurricane Kiko is expected to track north of Hawaii in coming days, reducing the threat of strong winds and heavy rain on the islands but still bringing potentially dangerous surf conditions, forecasters said Sunday.

Kiko was about 635 miles (1,025 kilometers) east of Hilo on the Big Island on Sunday and was forecast to pass north of the islands Tuesday and Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. The hurricane was moving west-northwest at 13 mph (20 kph).
