Hurricane Watch Issued for Hawaii’s Big Island as Tropical Storm Nolo Approaches
- On Wednesday, Sept. 23, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center issued a hurricane watch for the Big Island as Tropical Storm Nolo tracked toward the Hawaiian Islands with 40 mph sustained winds.
- Hawaii has faced three tropical systems this year, with residents still recovering from Hurricane Lala's flooding; meteorologists attribute the active Pacific season to El Niño, which reduces wind shear.
- Forecasts predict up to 35 inches of rain across higher elevations on the Big Island, with flood watches remaining in effect through Saturday for the Big Island, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, and Kahoolawe.
- Organizers canceled the Na Wahine O Ke Kai world championship canoe race scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 27, while Hawaii County Civil Defense urged residents to prepare property and conserve drinking water.
- Although the exact path remains uncertain, the FOX Forecast Center warned it is "extremely rare for a major hurricane to come this close to the Hawaiian Islands." Direct landfall is possible but unlikely.
