Hurricane Georgette (1992)

Georgette came within 169 km of Hawaii, passing to the south as a tropical depression on 26 July 1992. It had peaked far out at sea at 95 kt and was weakening as it neared the islands. Only 40 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.
