CNN —The Atlantic hurricane season might be quiet for now, but the same can’t be said in the Pacific, where Tropical Storm Hone is threatening to deliver a weekend blow to Hawaii. A tropical storm watch has been raised for Hawaii’s Big Island with the storm on track to pass close to the state this weekend. The storm is forecast to pass about 150 miles south of the Big Island late Saturday into Sunday morning. CNN WeatherIn addition to potentially flooding rainfall, Hone will also deliver gusty winds this weekend, especially over the Big Island. The system will weaken as it approaches Hawaii, but whatever remains of it could take a swipe at the state late next week.
