Meteorologists predict that the storm will intensify rapidly, reaching Category 3 hurricane status by early Saturday.

Impact & Risks

The Big Island of Hawaii is at significant risk from Tropical Storm Nolo. Heavy rainfall of 15 to 20 inches could lead to severe flooding and mudslides, endangering lives and property. Hurricane-force winds may cause structural damage, uproot trees, and create flying debris hazards. Storm surges could push seawater inland, exacerbating flooding and posing additional threats to coastal areas. Residents in the affected regions are advised to prepare for potential disruptions and follow official guidance.
