The potential impacts of Hurricane Lowell include dangerous storm surges, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall, which could lead to flooding in parts of Hawaii. The western Hawaiian island of Kauai, which was severely impacted by Hurricane Iniki in 1992, is currently within the storm's forecast cone. The small, isolated island of Niihau, located southwest of Kauai, is also at risk. The National Weather Service has warned that swells from Lowell could cause life-threatening surf and rip currents across the Hawaiian Islands in the coming days. Residents are urged to prepare for the possibility of significant impacts, as confidence in the storm's exact track remains low.
