# US severe weather persists, Fausto weakens near Hawaii

> Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/severe-thunderstorm-activity-in-central-us
> Updated: 2026-08-19T19:32:00.000Z. Sources: 162. Developments: 60.

The multi‑day severe‑weather pattern that began on July 24‑25 remains active across the United States. In addition to ongoing heat warnings in the Upper Midwest and severe‑thunderstorm watches in the South, isolated thunderstorms are expected Friday across Colorado’s Front Range, with damaging outflow winds up to 60 mph, hail and low‑90 °F temperatures. A flash‑flood warning has been issued for the Aspen Acres Burn Scar area of southeastern Colorado after 0.2‑0.5 inches of rain triggered life‑threatening flooding and debris flows.

Over the Pacific, Tropical Storm Fausto has further weakened to a post‑tropical remnant low with 60‑65 mph winds and a central pressure near 1,000 mb. Positioned 265‑400 mi northeast/east of Hilo and Honolulu, it is moving west‑northwest at 14‑15 mph. A high‑surf warning and subsequent advisory cover east‑facing shores of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, with surf heights of 8‑12 ft, powerful rip currents and beach closures in the Keaukaha area of Hilo. Forecasts call for Fausto to become a tropical depression by Thursday and eventually dissipate.

Hurricane Genevieve, now a Category 3 system with 125 mph winds, sits about 530 mi southwest of Baja California, generating large swells that are producing dangerous surf and rip currents along the coasts of Baja and southwestern Mexico. Both cyclones are expected to move farther from land, allowing surf conditions to improve.
