Hurricane Nolo was moving away from Hawaii on Sunday, while Hurricane Polo approached Mexico's Baja California peninsula, bringing forecasts of heavy rain, strong winds and hazardous surf, according to several reports.

NPR and the Guardian said Nolo still posed risks of rain, flooding and wind in Hawaii despite moving away. The Guardian reported that Nolo was about 365 miles south-southwest of Honolulu, with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph, and that wind and surf alerts remained in place in parts of the islands through Sunday evening. Reports differed on Nolo's intensity and location: the Sun called it a Category 4 storm, while the Atlantic described it as Category 2 and about 145 miles off the Big Island. Polo was expected to affect Baja California with coastal flooding, wind and rain. The Atlantic also reported Hurricane Odalys weakening over the open Pacific.
