Hurricane Kiko is no longer on a direct path toward Hawaii, but that doesn’t mean the islands are in the clear. The storm has weakened to a Category 1 and is expected to continue losing strength as it moves northwest. However, forecasters warn that large ocean swells could still impact eastern-facing shores, bringing dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents. Here's everything you need to know about Kiko’s new path, what it means for Hawaii, and how to stay safe even without a direct hit.

00:00A powerful hurricane just took a turn for the better.
00:03Hurricane Kiko, once a growing threat to Hawaii, is now weakening fast.
00:07Forecasters say the storm has dropped to a Category 1.
00:10And the good news? It's expected to pass north of the Hawaiian Islands.
00:15At its peak, Kiko had winds roaring at 85 mph.
00:18But it's losing steam and heading west-northwest at 15 MEPA.
00:22Right now, it's about 410 miles east of Hilo, and over 590 miles from Honolulu.
00:28Still, this storm isn't completely harmless.
00:31Eastern-facing shores may get hit with large swells.
00:33And that means dangerous surf and deadly rip currents are still possible.
00:38So while Hawaii might dodge a direct hit, beachgoers need to stay alert and safe.
00:43Nature gave a warning shot.
00:45Let's not ignore the waves that follow.
