Fabio came within 384 km of Hawaii, passing to the south as a tropical depression on 6 August 1988. It had peaked far out at sea at 120 kt and was weakening as it neared the islands. Only 16 official forecasts survive in the archive, all issued more than a day before the closest pass, so the replay stops early. Forecasts issued from Honolulu in this era were never written into the digital record.
