Rough seas to pound Hawaii as Major Hurricane Lane nears this week

Despite weakening and taking a track south of the Big Island, Major Hurricane Lane will still stir dangerous seas across the Hawaiian Islands this week.

After peaking at Category 4 strength earlier this weekend, Lane is expected to gradually weaken as it tracks westward through the central Pacific Ocean.

Lane is following in the footsteps of Major Hurricane Hector from earlier this month. It is on a path that will take it south of Hawaii's Big Island at midweek. Lane may be a Category 1 hurricane when its center tracks about 250 miles south of the Big Island's southernmost point.

Boaters and swimmers are being put on alert that Lane will not pass the Hawaiian Islands unnoticed.
