Tropical Storm Iona became the first named storm of the 2025 hurricane season in the Central Pacific on Sunday evening local time. The storm was located over the ocean southeast of Hawaii, with winds near the center of around 50 miles per hour.

Hurricane Iona was expected to move westward for the next couple of days and stay far south of the Hawaiian Islands, forecasters said.

It's officially hurricane season, and that means keeping a closer eye on the weather this time of year, especially if you live in Hawaii. Fox Weather on Monday reported that the National Hurricane Center upgraded Iona from a tropical storm after forming Sunday night south of Hawaii to a Category 1
