Hurricane Nolo Weakens, Forecast to Reintensify
US · Published Sep 30, 2026
• Hurricane Nolo, currently located at 22.0°N and 164.2°W, is weakening due to strong southwesterly vertical wind shear and dry air entering its circulation, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
• As of 5:00 PM HST on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, Nolo's maximum sustained winds have decreased to 75 knots (85 mph or 137 km/h).

Impact & Risks

The weakening of Hurricane Nolo is expected to reduce its immediate threat to nearby areas, including French Frigate Shoals, Maro Reef, and Lisianski Island. However, the storm is forecast to regain strength later in the week, potentially reaching hurricane intensity again by Friday. Residents and maritime interests in the affected regions should remain vigilant as the storm's path and intensity could still pose risks, including strong winds and heavy rainfall, particularly if the storm re-strengthens as predicted.
