Located about 550 miles southwest of the southern tip of Baja California as of 5 a.m. today, Jova was packing maximum sustained winds of 155 mph and was moving west-northwest at 16 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Meanwhile, in Hawaii, the weather is mostly dry and stable with light tradewinds through Friday.
