Hawaii residents and visitors have been urged to prepare for heavy rains, flooding, and potential mudslides as Hurricane Lowell, a Category 3 storm, passes west of the islands late Monday and Tuesday. The National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for Kauai and Niihau. Officials are advising preparation for the impacts of the storm, which is forecast to travel north while remaining west of the islands.
While Lowell is a major hurricane, its projected path keeps the strongest winds offshore. However, the approaching storm is still expected to bring significant rainfall and hazardous conditions to the warned islands. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center issued the warning Sunday, anticipating the storm’s effects will be felt through Tuesday.
Left and right-leaning coverage both focus on the potential for heavy rain and flooding, though the Washington Times specifically noted Lowell as a major Category 3 storm. No center perspective reported this story.
