Hurricane Nolo still threatens Hawaii as Mexico's Baja braces for major Hurricane Polo

Key Points:

• Hurricane Nolo was moving away from the Hawaiian Islands but continued to pose risks of heavy rain, flash flooding, and strong winds, especially on the Big Island, which was still recovering from previous storms.
• Nolo's maximum sustained winds reached 115 mph, and authorities maintained high wind, wind advisory, and high surf warnings through Sunday evening, with potential rainfall up to 20 inches causing life-threatening flooding and mudslides.
• Emergency measures included activation of over 120 National Guard members on the Big Island, partial highway closures, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) support authorized by an emergency declaration from President Trump.
• Meanwhile, Hurricane Polo, a category 3 storm with 125 mph winds, was approaching Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, prompting hurricane warnings and preparations including deployment of naval vessels and emergency shelters.
• Tropical Storm Rachel formed off Mexico’s southwest coast with 40 mph winds, but no coastal watches or warnings were issued at the time.
