US‑Canada severe weather persists, Fausto threatens Hawaii

Entities: National Weather Service · California · Wyoming · Hurricane Fausto · Maui County

Overview

The multi‑day severe‑weather pattern continues. On July 24‑25, extreme heat warnings expanded across the Upper Midwest—north Iowa (heat index 113 °F), central and southern Minnesota, and central Wisconsin with indices near 100 °F. The Storm Prediction Center issued gust‑front and severe‑thunderstorm watches: wind gusts 55‑70 mph, isolated large hail, and a possible tornado in northeast Wisconsin (Enhanced Risk Level 3). Similar threats appeared in northern Wyoming and southwest South Dakota (gusts up to 60 mph) and in Indiana (wind gusts, heat indices 100‑105 °F). Montana was placed under a slight‑risk for damaging winds up to 65 mph; Idaho issued a special statement for gusts 50‑55 mph. Flash‑flood warnings persisted for Colorado’s Aspen Acres burn scar after up to an inch of rain fell.

Hurricane Fausto continued to intensify, reaching Category 2 with 100 mph sustained winds and a central pressure near 971 hPa while located about 1,200‑1,400 mi east of Hilo. It is expected to weaken and pass north of the Hawaiian Islands early next week as a tropical storm, generating dangerous surf, rip currents, and possible heavy rain with gusts around 40 mph. The storm’s long‑period swell also prompted beach‑hazard statements for California’s central coast.

Authorities keep urging residents to stay indoors during storms, avoid travel, secure outdoor items, and follow local surf, flood and heat advisories.
