Hawaii faces a 70% chance of a tropical storm or hurricane forming southeast of the islands next week, raising concerns about potential impacts (Yahoo News, 2026). California may experience remnant moisture and isolated thunderstorms from Tropical Storm Iselle, with a slight risk of flash flooding in the Sierra region. Coastal Southern California is under a beach hazards statement due to rip currents and waves up to 7 feet. While the likelihood of a hurricane directly hitting California remains low, the state could still see significant moisture and large waves from weakening systems.
