Hurricane Lowell Heads for Hawaii | Jamaica News

Hurricane Lowell is barreling toward Hawaii’s western islands, with a hurricane warning in effect for Kauai and Niihau as the storm threatens to pass dangerously close Monday night into Tuesday. Residents are urgently urged to finalize safety and property prep amid forecasts of torrential rain—up to 10 inches on Kauai, 4-8 inches on Oahu and the Big Island—and dangerous coastal flooding from storm surge. This follows the recent devastation of Hurricane Lala on the Big Island, and comes during an El Niño season that fuels Pacific storms. Though once a Category 5, Lowell has weakened to a Category 3 and is expected to lose strength after passing the islands, turning northwest. Authorities remain on high alert as conditions evolve.
