A major hurricane is churning in the Pacific Ocean several hundred miles away from Hawaii. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Tuesday that Hurricane Iona is one of two major weather systems in the ocean but poses no threat to the islands.

The least active tropical basin watched by NOAA suddenly has several systems being watched, but none threaten Hawaii.

Tropical Storm Keli, located 790 miles southeast of Honolulu, is moving westward with 40 mph winds. While not expected to make landfall, Keli's presence could strengthen trade winds, elevating wildfire risks across drought-stricken Hawaii.
