Nolo skims south of Hawaii
Hurricane Nolo churned slowly south of the Big Island with maximum sustained winds of 90 mph. Its center was 165 miles south-southwest of Hawaii's southernmost point, and a hurricane watch was canceled as forecasters projected strengthening into a major hurricane late Sept. 27 and early Sept. 28.
Nolo's outer bands flood Big Island
Heavy rain from Hurricane Nolo flooded sections of Mamalahoa Highway near Naalehu. National Guard members helped a resident leave his home, and partial highway closures were reported.
Rainfall accumulates through Thursday
Forecast 4–8 inches of rain with isolated totals near 12 inches across Guerrero and Michoacán; flooding and mudslides possible.
Coastal impacts begin
Heavy rain, rough surf, and tropical-storm-force winds reach parts of Mexico late Tuesday into early Wednesday.
Sharp turn forecast
Polo expected to make a sharp turn toward the west-northwest or northwest by late Tuesday, tracking along western Mexico's coast but staying offshore.
Polo reaches hurricane strength
NHC advisory confirms maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (129 kph); storm centered 270 miles SSE of Manzanillo and 190 miles SSW of Zihuatanejo, moving east.
Tropical Storm Fay forms
Fay becomes the sixth named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, located closer to Europe than the United States.
Closest approach expected
Lowell's center is forecast to pass about 110 miles west of Niihau and 150 miles west of Kauai from late Monday night through Tuesday morning, at near Category 2 strength.
Tropical storm warnings issued
National Hurricane Center issues tropical storm warnings for Kauai and Niihau as Hurricane Lowell, a Category 3 with 120 mph winds, begins its northward turn; Governor Josh Green declares a state of emergency.
Steering high weakens
An upper-level high-pressure system that had been steering Lowell west weakens over the weekend as a cold trough from the north Pacific interacts with a nearby low-pressure area, allowing the hurricane to turn north toward Hawaii.
Major-hurricane intensification projected
NHC forecasts Polo to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane later in the week.
Storm exits westward
Moke forecast to continue moving west across the islands through early Tuesday.
Moke reaches Big Island
Heavy rain and wind from Moke expected to hit the Big Island late Saturday.
Tropical Storm Moke forms
NHC advisory places Moke about 660 miles southeast of Hilo, moving west-northwest at 9 mph with 45 mph sustained winds.
11,630 still without power
Poweroutage.us reports 11,630 Big Island customers remain without power as Lala recovery continues.
Downgraded to tropical storm
The National Hurricane Center downgrades Lala at 2:00 a.m. HST (1200 GMT) as it pulls away from the Big Island without making landfall.
Damage assessments and cleanup begin
Governor Josh Green and emergency management officials hold a news conference; officials investigate possible storm-related deaths.
Tropical storm warnings spread across state
Warnings are issued for Maui, Molokai, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau; heavy rain and flood risk spread westward.
Lala strengthens into Category 1 hurricane
Hurricane Lala reaches sustained winds up to 75 mph (120 km/h, or 129 km/h in one report) near Hawaii.
Hurricane Lala batters Hawaii
Lala passes near Hawaii without landfall, downing trees and leaving roads covered in mud and rocks across the Big Island.
Hurricane Isaias rapidly strengthened to a Category 3 storm, forcing a 62.9% shut-in of Gulf oil production and the evacuation of 121 platforms. The event highlights how intensifying climate-driven extremes are exposing offshore fossil fuel infrastructure and energy security to new operational risks.
Hurricane Nolo's outer bands are delivering up to 20 inches of rain to Hawaii's Big Island just weeks after Hurricane Lala, compounding flood risk for communities still in recovery. The storm, packing 90 mph winds and forecast to strengthen, underscores how slow-moving tropical cyclones are testing island infrastructure and emergency response. Climate adaptation and grid resilience are now front and center as Hawaii faces back-to-back extremes.

The 2026 Atlantic season's zero-hurricane stretch through late September defies the climatological peak month, with Tropical Storm Fay forecast to weaken far from the U.S. For climate and energy analysts, the quiet pattern reshapes near-term hurricane risk for Gulf energy assets while raising questions about seasonal forecasting.

Hurricane Polo reached 80 mph sustained winds in the eastern Pacific and is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane while tracking along Mexico's western coast. The National Hurricane Center projects 4–8 inches of rain, with isolated totals near 12 inches, across Guerrero and Michoacán through Thursday, raising flood and mudslide risk. The storm arrives amid a record-late Atlantic hurricane start as El Niño suppresses Atlantic formation while the eastern Pacific stays active.

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has set a satellite-era record for inactivity, with zero hurricanes through mid-September and overall activity at just 7% of normal. A powerful El Niño is overriding warm ocean temperatures with wind shear, dry air, and sinking motion that suppress storm formation. Climate and risk professionals are watching how long the pattern holds and whether a late-season storm — like 1992's Hurricane Andrew — upends the quiet.

Hurricane Lowell's Category 3 winds and northward turn toward Kauai and Niihau mark Hawaii's third tropical cyclone threat in just over three weeks, underscoring how El Niño is supercharging the Pacific hurricane season. The storm is forecast to remain offshore but still brings heavy rain, dangerous surf, and hurricane-force mountain gusts, testing the state's climate resilience and renewable energy infrastructure.

Tropical Storm Moke is the second major tropical system to threaten Hawaii in a week, forecast to drop up to 15 inches of rain on the Big Island while 11,630 customers still lack power from Hurricane Lala. The back-to-back events illustrate how compounding extreme-weather episodes strain recovery and infrastructure even when a storm never makes landfall.

Hawaii's Big Island began recovery on Aug. 16 after Hurricane Lala weakened to a tropical storm without making landfall. The National Hurricane Center expected 30-35 inches of rain over windward slopes, and officials warned that post-storm cleanup with generators and chainsaws poses a hidden casualty risk. The event underscores how extreme rainfall, not just wind, now drives Hawaii's climate risk.
Tropical Storm Bertha, the Atlantic's second named storm of 2026, made two Gulf landfalls at an estimated 45 mph without producing sustained tropical-storm-force winds over land. Its top-down formation and sheared, dry-air-choked structure show how warm seas and a favorable MJO were outweighed by vertical wind shear and Saharan dust. The basin has since gone quiet, with Cristobal next on the list and no near-term areas of concern.

Two African easterly waves and an upper-level low near Florida highlight the Atlantic's shift into peak hurricane season. Wind shear and a displaced Bermuda High may limit development, but coastal flood and rip-current risks remain. Forecasters urge preparedness as the wave train cycles up.

Tropical Storm Bertha made landfall in Louisiana with 45 mph winds and a sprawling wind field, disrupting coastal communities and highlighting the compounding risks of extreme heat and tropical cyclones. The storm's impacts on energy infrastructure and urban resilience reflect broader climate adaptation challenges.
