Hawaii Braces for Potential Tropical Threat as Invest 93C Develops
US · Published Aug 11, 2026
The Pacific Ocean is experiencing heightened tropical activity as the hurricane season intensifies.
The FOX Forecast Center is monitoring three disturbances between Mexico and Hawaii, with one system, Invest 93C, posing a potential threat to Hawaii later this week.

Impact & Risks

Hawaii faces the possibility of significant impacts from Invest 93C, which could develop into a tropical storm named Lala. The system is expected to generate massive waves of 16 to 20 feet (4.9 to 6.1 meters), posing risks to coastal areas and marine activities. The storm's trajectory remains uncertain, with potential outcomes ranging from a near-landfall event to staying offshore. If the storm tracks closer to the islands, it could bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and hazardous surf conditions. Residents and visitors are advised to stay informed and prepare for possible disruptions.
