Lala is again a tropical storm, sending drenching rain and high winds across the Hawaiian islands

Lala has weakened to a tropical storm after its eyewall skirted the Hawaiian islands without making landfall. Despite the downgrade, the system continues to impact the region with hurricane-force wind gusts and heavy rainfall.

The storm has caused significant precipitation, with some areas of the Big Island recording nearly three feet of rain. Authorities report that the system remains active and continues to affect the state with severe weather conditions.
