The eastern Hawaiian Islands, particularly the Big Island, are at risk of life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas recovering from previous storms like Hurricane Lala. Rainfall rates and totals could lead to significant property damage and landslides. Coastal areas may experience life-threatening surf and rip currents as swells build over the weekend. The storm's impact could be severe regardless of its exact track or intensity, with risks of wind damage and flooding across the region.
