HONOLULU, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Hurricane Lester weakened slightly as it approached Hawaii early Friday but registered as a Category 3 storm with sustained winds up to 115 mph.
The storm, moving about 14 mph, isn't expected to make landfall but will still bring winds, rain and a possible storm surge through the weekend. It is expected to weaken further as it moves across waters in the path of Tropical Storm Madeline, which is slowly falling apart as it moves into the colder waters of the Pacific Ocean.
