Hawaii will continue to face some hazards from Ana through early this week, despite escaping a direct hit.
Ana took a path to the south and west of Hawaii over the weekend, nearly paralleling the island chain but was close enough to bring gusty winds, heavy rain, and rough surf.
Ana weakened from a hurricane to a tropical storm late on Sunday as it continued to track away from the island chain.
Seas will remain rough and dangerous for novice boarders, boaters and bathers around much of the islands on Tuesday despite the storm moving away.
The Big Island faced some of Ana's wrath on Saturday as the storm brushed by to the southwest. Heavy rain accompanied gusty winds throughout the day. Rainfall topped over five inches in Hilo with over ten inches falling across the higher terrain. Fortunately, little to no damage was observed on the islands.
