Hurricane Lowell Makes Final Turn Toward Hawaii as Islands Brace for Impacts
Gov. Josh Green activated state resources as Lowell neared, with forecasters warning of 125 mph winds, hazardous surf and up to 10 inches of rain.
- On Sunday, Hurricane Lowell, a Category 3 storm, neared Hawaii as officials issued a hurricane warning; the storm is located about 600 miles southwest of Honolulu.
- Weakening high-pressure systems are allowing Lowell to shift north, freed from the atmospheric force field that previously trapped the storm west of the Hawaiian Islands.
- A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Kauai and Niihau, with winds over 39 mph possible within 48 hours; the National Hurricane Center warns of "significant flash flooding and mudslides."
- Hawaii Gov. Josh Green declared a state of emergency on Thursday, activating Hawaii National Guard units and deploying six high-water vehicles to Kauai to mitigate flooding.
- While Lowell is not expected to make direct landfall, the storm's path bears a resemblance to 1992's Hurricane Iniki, with the center passing within about 130 miles of Niihau by Monday night.
