Hurricane Douglas, now about 140 miles east of Honolulu, may make landfall in one or more of the Hawaiian islands by Monday, forecasters said Sunday.
"We remain uncomfortably close to a dangerous hurricane here in the state of Hawaii," Robert Ballard of the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said. Douglas is a Category 1 storm, with sustained winds of 80 to 85 mph, and is a "pretty nasty hurricane," Ballard said.
