Hawaii Braces for Another Storm This Weekend

Hawaii may face another tropical storm this weekend, with a new system showing an 80 percent probability of development within the next seven days. This comes shortly after Tropical Storm Lala caused extensive flooding and heavy rainfall on the Big Island. Computer models suggest the potential storm, which could be named Moke, might track close to the Big Island or farther south, still bringing rain to areas affected by Lala.

In separate developments, Lala has strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane with 130 mph winds. This powerful storm is expected to impact parts of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, including uninhabited islands and atolls, on Wednesday night. Lala is joining a rare group of major hurricanes that have passed through this remote region.
