US EditionHurricane Kiko Heads Toward Hawaii as Lorena Remnants Linger Near Western Mexico
Heavy rains from Hurricane Kiko and Tropical Storm Lorena threaten life-threatening flash floods and mudslides in Mexico and the U.S. Southwest, with up to 8 inches expected in some areas, officials said.
- On Thursday and Friday, Hurricane Kiko tracked toward Hawaii while Tropical Storm Lorena lingered near northwest Mexico, bringing heavy rain to the region.
- By Thursday, Lorena had weakened below hurricane strength but remained nearly stationary near Baja California, leading to heavy rains and heightened flash flood threats in northwest Mexico.
- On Thursday afternoon, Hurricane Kiko’s strongest winds reached 130 mph, but by Friday morning, the storm had weakened slightly while progressing west-northwest, remaining over 1,000 miles away from Hawaii.
- The National Hurricane Center warned that Lorena could drop up to 12 inches of rain in parts of Mexico and that heavy rainfall up to 4 inches may affect Arizona and New Mexico through Saturday.
- Forecasters expect Lorena to dissipate by Sunday while Kiko's strength may fluctuate before weakening early next week as swells potentially reach Hawaii at weekend's end.
