A tropical storm currently moving toward Hawaii’s Big Island is intensifying and is forecast to strengthen into a major hurricane by the weekend. The system, named Nolo, threatens to unleash heavy rainfall on regions already battered by repeated flooding from earlier storms this summer. Residents in affected areas are on alert as meteorologists warn of potential flash floods and dangerous conditions. Authorities are urging preparedness as the storm’s approach could exacerbate ongoing recovery efforts.
Nolo will slow down as it nears Hawaii's Big Island and is expected to become a major hurricane this weekend, bringing torrential rain to areas that have been flooded by big storms this summer.
