Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Hurricane Kiko continues to track in the general direction of Hawaii while maintaining its Category 3 status with 120 mph winds on Saturday afternoon.
Kiko weakened slightly and was located about 935 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, and 1,135 east-southeast of Honolulu, while moving west-northwest at 12 mph, the National Hurricane Center reported in its 5 p.m. EDT update.
Hurricane-force winds extend about 25 miles from the storm's eye, while tropical-storm-force winds extend outward by up to 80 miles.
The hurricane is expected to continue moving toward the west-northwesterly and gradually weaken over the next several days.
No coastal watches or warnings are in effect, but "interests in the Hawaiian Islands should monitor the progress of Kiko," NHC forecasters said.
