New Hurricane Threats Emerge in Pacific Amid Hawaii's Recovery from Lala
New Hurricane Threats Emerge in Pacific Amid Hawaii's Recovery from Lala
US · Published Aug 20, 2026
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two new tropical disturbances in the Pacific Ocean, just days after Hurricane Lala caused significant damage in Hawaii.
One system is expected to develop south-southwest of Mexico later this week, with an 80% chance of formation over the next seven days.

Impact & Risks

The two developing systems could pose future risks to Pacific regions, though neither currently threatens land. Hawaii remains vulnerable as it recovers from Hurricane Lala, which caused widespread flooding, infrastructure damage, and at least one fatality. Communities on the Big Island experienced washed-out roads, bridge damage, and prolonged power outages, with over 100 homes affected. The potential for additional storms underscores the need for vigilance in the region.
