Hurricane Nolo is intensifying as it approaches Hawaii's Big Island and is forecast to reach major hurricane status this weekend, according to NPR. The storm, which has taken an erratic path, is expected to slow down near the islands and deliver torrential rainfall to regions that have already experienced significant flooding from earlier summer storms.
While Nolo is not projected to make landfall, forecasters caution that the threat of dangerous flooding remains high. The storm's slow movement could prolong rainfall over already saturated areas, exacerbating flood risks.
Residents on the Big Island and surrounding areas should monitor updates closely and prepare for potential flooding impacts through the weekend.
