Douglas continues to barrel towards the Hawaiian Islands as a Category 1 hurricane with maximum-sustained winds of 90 mph.
After peaking as a Category 4 hurricane last week, the update from the National Hurricane Center at 2 a.m. Sunday, Hawaii time, shows Douglas was a Category 1 hurricane with maximum-sustained winds of 90 mph. Douglas is moving west-northwest at 16 mph and was about 190 miles away from Kahului, Hawaii, and 285 miles east-southeast of the state capital of Honolulu.
Into Monday morning, Douglas will pass just to the north of the Hawaiian archipelago and is forecast to remain a Category 1 hurricane during that time. Still, Douglas will have to battle through an area of moderate-to-high wind shear and cooler ocean water to maintain its hurricane status.
