Developing Storm System Forecast to Strengthen as It Moves Toward Hawaii
Forecasters say the system has a 90% chance of becoming Tropical Storm Lala and could affect the islands later this week.
- The Central Pacific Hurricane Center is monitoring a low-pressure system dubbed CP93, located roughly 1,100 miles east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands, as it moves west-northwestward toward the state.
- Forecasters project a 90% chance the system strengthens into a tropical cyclone, which would be named Tropical Storm Lala, as environmental conditions become increasingly conducive for development.
- Anticipated rainfall could total 5 to 10 inches across the island chain, with maximum totals of 20 inches possible, alongside dangerous life-threatening surf and rip currents.
- By early Thursday, officials anticipate issuing tropical storm or hurricane watches for portions of the state as the disturbance moves west-northwestward near or over the islands.
- Accuweather meteorologists warn the system could bring damaging winds and flooding regardless of final intensity, while residents should monitor updates and finalize preparedness plans immediately.
