The National Hurricane Center is tracking two hurricanes simultaneously in the Eastern Pacific basin, Fausto and Genevieve, though as of the latest advisories neither has prompted a coastal watch or warning for the United States.
Hurricane Genevieve, this cycle’s headline system, carries maximum sustained winds near 80 mph, hurricane strength on the National Hurricane Center’s scale. Hurricane Fausto, active at the same time, also carries maximum sustained winds near 80 mph. Current NHC advisories do not list a forward speed or heading for either storm, and the agency has not attached any US coastal warnings, watches, or evacuation orders to either system at this time.
No active weather alerts are in effect nationwide tied to this story as of this advisory, and no specific US states have been identified in NWS alert data as directly affected. That combination — two simultaneous hurricanes with no coastal alerts posted — typically means the systems remain over open water, away from populated coastlines, though the National Hurricane Center continues to monitor both for any change in track or intensity that could alter that picture.
Eastern Pacific hurricanes of this strength can still produce dangerous surf, rip currents, and localized flooding rainfall well away from their centers if they track closer to land or interact with monsoonal moisture. Residents and mariners along the Pacific coast, including in Mexico and the southwestern United States, should continue to monitor official National Hurricane Center advisories rather than assume the absence of a warning today means no future risk. Storm tracks can shift, and hurricane warnings can be issued on short notice as systems approach shore.
The National Hurricane Center updates its forecasts and advisories multiple times daily during active storms, and coastal residents in hurricane-prone regions are advised to keep an evacuation plan and emergency supplies ready during the season regardless of a storm’s current forecast path. Boaters and coastal communities should also watch for any newly issued small craft advisories or high surf warnings, which the National Weather Service typically posts ahead of formal hurricane watches when swells begin arriving from offshore systems.
Weather Window will continue to track both Fausto and Genevieve and update this story if the National Hurricane Center issues new coastal warnings, watches, or track changes affecting land.
