Tropical Storm Nolo:
Tropical Storm Nolo strengthening, Hawaii braces for flooding, winds.
Nolo is expected to strengthen into a hurricane Thursday night and reach major hurricane status (at least Category 3) by the weekend, though its precise track remains uncertain.
Nolo will head north towards the Big Island, then at some point later Friday or Saturday, bend sharply west.
The latest run of models has actually pulled the track of Nolo farther south and the Big Island is now not in the cone of uncertainty. Should this trend continue, more of the heaviest impacts could stay offshore.
But, storms tend to wobble in the cone of uncertainty, so should the storm turn to the west later, there could be a ramp up of winds as the storm makes its closest pass to the islands.
But even if the Big Island stays outside of the cone of uncertainty, impacts will still occur well beyond the cone.
At least parts of the main islands will see the triple threat of rain, winds and waves. This will happen regardless of how close Nolo's center tracks to the Big Island and whether or not it ever makes a landfall.
Potential impacts
Flooding
rainfall
The track's southern shift has had little impact on how much rainfall is expected on the Big Island, Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe. Flood watches remain in effect.
Locally heavy rain from Nolo's outer bands could fall well in advance of the closest approach of the storm.
Here are the peak rainfall forecasts from NOAA's Weather Prediction Center. These peak totals are most possible over mountain slopes:
Parts of the Big Island: Up to 35 inches
Parts of Maui: Up to 20 inches
Rest of islands: Up to 6 inches
This could lead to life-threatening, potentially catastrophic flash flooding and mudslides on the Big Island and Maui, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Weather Alert:Weather Warning
Heavy rainfall associated with Tropical Depression Fifteen-E is expected to begin affecting eastern portions of the Big Island on Wednesday, with periods of heavy rainfall continuing across the Big Island and Maui through Saturday. Rainfall totals could exceed one foot in some locations, particularly over steep terrain, resulting in the potential for life-threatening and catastrophic flooding and mudslides. The remainder of the Hawaiian Islands is expected to receive lower rainfall totals, although isolated flooding remains possible.
Heavy Rainfall Locations
- Big Island of Hawaii: Heavy rainfall is expected to begin affecting the eastern portions of the Big Island on Wednesday, with periods of heavy rain continuing through Saturday. Rainfall totals may exceed one foot, particularly in areas of steep terrain, creating the potential for life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
- Maui: Periods of heavy rainfall are expected through Saturday, with significant flooding and mudslide concerns, especially in areas of steep terrain.
- Remainder of the Hawaiian Islands: Lower rainfall totals are expected compared with the Big Island and Maui; however, isolated flooding remains possible.
