Tropical Storm Veers Away From Islands

Tropical Storm Daniel changed course away from Hawaii as it gathered strength, prompting the National Weather Service to cancel all watches and warnings throughout the state. The storm was centered about 225 miles east-northeast of Honolulu and 150 miles east of Kahului, Maui, as of 5 p.m. HDT, National Weather Service forecaster Kevin Komada said. “It’s going to stay far enough away where we’re not going to anticipate any effects,” he said. After weakening overnight, the storm began intensifying with winds reaching 70 mph.
