Hurricane Nolo strengthens after skirting past Hawaii. See its path.

Hurricane Nolo intensified to a Category 2 storm as it moved away from Hawaii, with expectations to become a major hurricane before weakening. Although it will stay south of Hawaii’s main islands, it is predicted to bring heavy rain and strong winds. President Trump approved an emergency declaration to aid Hawaii’s recovery. Nolo’s winds reached 100 mph, and it could bring up to 20 inches of rain to parts of the Big Island, with lesser amounts elsewhere. State parks on the Big Island and Maui are closed due to the storm. This follows an active Pacific hurricane season, with previous storms like Hurricane Lowell and Hurricane Lala causing significant damage in Hawaii.
