NewzNolo se intensificó hasta convertirse en huracán el jueves a varios cientos de millas al sur de Hawái y se prevé que pase a unas 150 millas de la Isla Grande como huracán en intensificación el viernes, antes de girar bruscamente hacia la izquierda al sur del estado este fin de semana.En las últimas 24 horas, la trayectoria prevista de Nolo ha mostrado una tendencia hacia el sur, alejándose de Hawái, lo que reduce el riesgo de que el núcleo de lo que se prevé que sea un huracán de categoría 3 o superior afecte directamente a partes del estado.Unfortunately, the slight southward trend in the forecast doesn’t do much for the catastrophic, life-threatening rainfall threat Nolo poses in its outer edges to part of Maui and the Big Island this weekend – especially on east-facing slopes of the Big Island where the National Weather Service is forecasting as much as 25 inches of rainfall, nearly half of the rainfall Miami typically gets in an entire year.In addition to significant, life-threatening flash flooding and dangerous mudslides on Maui and the Big Island from Nolo’s torrential rains, tropical storm conditions (winds 39 mph and stronger) and hurricane force wind gusts (winds 74 mph or higher) in higher terrain will spread over southeastern parts of the state as the storm passes by this weekend. The high winds on Nolo’s periphery could also extend westward to parts of Oahu and Kauai.Treacherous marine conditions, including waves exceeding 20 feet, will batter north and west-facing shorelines of the state into early next week.Another weak and fleeting storm for the sluggish AtlanticThe strong disturbance designated Invest 90L near the Cabo Verde Islands off Africa was upgraded to Tropical Storm Gonzalo late Thursday eastern time.An unusual tropical storm warning was issued for the Cabo Verde Islands as the broad and disorganized storm lifts northward across the archipelago through Friday night.Like nearly all of its six Atlantic predecessors this season, Gonzalo is expected to stay weak and shouldn’t even survive to next week.Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Fay continues to spit and sputter as it creeps over the open central Atlantic. Fay is forecast to wind down again by Sunday and, barring another unforeseen resurgence, that should be all she wrote for the season’s comeback kid.Elsewhere, no development is expected across the Gulf, Caribbean, or wider Atlantic into…
Nolo strengthened into a hurricane on Thursday several hundred miles south of Hawaii and is on track to pass to within about 150 miles of the Big Island as an intensifying hurricane on Friday before hanging a hard left south of the state this weekend.Nolo’s forecast has trended south and away from Hawaii over the past 24 hours, which lowers the risk that the core of what’s forecast to be a major Category 3 or stronger hurricane will directly impact parts of the state.Unfortunately, the slight southward trend in the forecast doesn’t do much for the catastrophic, life-threatening rainfall threat Nolo poses in its outer edges to part of Maui and the Big Island this weekend – especially on east-facing slopes of the Big Island where the National Weather Service is forecasting as much as 25 inches of rainfall, nearly half of the rainfall Miami typically gets in an entire year.In addition to significant, life-threatening flash flooding and dangerous mudslides on Maui and the Big Island from Nolo’s torrential rains, tropical storm conditions (winds 39 mph and stronger) and hurricane force wind gusts (winds 74 mph or higher) in higher terrain will spread over southeastern parts of the state as the storm passes by this weekend.
