Hurricane Lowell poses significant risks to Hawaii, particularly Kauai and Ni'ihau. Heavy rainfall of 6 to 10 inches, with isolated totals of up to 14 inches, is expected in Kauai, while the Big Island could see 4 to 8 inches of rain, with isolated totals of 12 inches. Maui and other islands may experience 2 to 4 inches of rain, with localized totals reaching 8 inches. The storm could also bring storm surges of 1 to 3 feet in Kauai County and up to 1 foot in Oahu, leading to potential coastal flooding. Dangerous surf conditions, with waves up to 14 feet, and rip currents are expected across the island chain, particularly on south-facing coasts. Flash flooding and mudslides are also possible, especially in areas with steep terrain. (Source: weather.com, 2026-09-06 12:16:33 GMT)
