Hawaii is preparing for another bout of severe weather, with flood watches in effect statewide from Wednesday morning to Friday afternoon. This follows recent record-breaking rainfall that caused significant damage, and recovery efforts are still underway. The upcoming storm is expected to bring heavy downpours, particularly on Thursday and Friday, increasing the risk of flash flooding, landslides, and road closures. The atmospheric river streaming towards Hawaii is linked to a developing triplet cyclone pattern in the West Pacific, potentially contributing to a super El Niño. Historically, increased atmospheric moisture has led to heavy rains in Hawaii, especially on the Big Island.
