This would be the First Time Since 1993, hurricane fernandez, that a hurricane warning was issued for the Hawaiian Island at all, let alone a landfall. Very rare event for hawaii to get hit by a hurricane or Tropical Storm system. Why is that . Because you have a lot of very stable air in this part of the pacific. So, so often, storms like this would just start to peter out. But we are in the middle of a he will nenna, in other words, warmer, warmer water temperatures in the Central Pacific or the Pacific Basin in general. That means with warmer water, in part, will help fuel tropical systems. That is certainly whats happening here.
