Hawaii braces for another Hurricane, as future Nolo reforms
The Weather Channel • • nation
Key Points:
- Tropical Depression Fifteen-E has reformed in the Pacific and is forecasted to strengthen into Hurricane Nolo by tomorrow, potentially impacting Hawaii by Friday.
- The storm is expected to move in a zig-zag pattern, possibly slowing and meandering south of the Big Island before continuing west-northwest early next week, with some scenarios suggesting a closer approach or landfall.
- Significant rainfall is anticipated, with flood watches likely, especially on the Big Island where rainfall could reach feet, exacerbating conditions after earlier storms this season.
- This will be Hawaii’s fourth tropical system of the 2026 season, following Hurricane Lala, Tropical Storm Moke, and Hurricane Lowell, all of which caused varying degrees of flooding, wind damage, and power outages.
- The storm is considered a "zombie" storm, having initially weakened due to wind shear but now re-strengthening as it moves into more favorable conditions.
