Multiple rounds of supercells and tornadoes are expected today and tonight across central and northern Arizona! I am teaming up with west coast chasing expert @RealDLScales to chase this event LIVE starting this afternoon.

The Big Island of Hawaii certainly dodged a close call with Hurricane Nolo. While the prolonged easterly fetch did lead to heavy rain on the eastern side of the island, a farther north storm would've led to far more significant impacts from a near-stationary hurricane.
I have paused live coverage for the night but will be resuming first thing in the morning!
⚠️ HAWAII: We have boots on the ground providing a FREE live view of the approaching Hurricane Nolo!
- Simply turn on storm chasers from the burger menu and watch @RealDLScales give you eyes on the storm.
- Stay safe DL and Hawaiians!

Tropical Storm Nolo is expected to strengthen into a hurricane today as it moves northward to north northeastward, potentially making its closest approach to the Big Island as a major hurricane on Saturday. Significant heavy rainfall and flooding impacts are expected, with 15 to 20 inches of rain and isolated totals up to 35 inches possible on the Big Island, while Maui could receive 5 to 10 inches with isolated totals up to 20 inches. Tropical storm force winds and large, damaging waves are also possible, and a Hurricane Watch remains in effect for the Big Island. Residents should complete preparations for heavy rain and flooding today, review emergency plans, monitor official forecasts and follow instructions from local authorities, including evacuation orders if issued. Visit ready.hawaii.gov for preparedness information and hurricanes.gov for the latest Tropical Storm Nolo forecast and updates.
I will be live providing on the ground coverage in the @WxWiseApp and on YouTube. Hoping for an earlier turn west than expected. #Nolo

BREAKING: A Hurricane Warning is now in effect for Kauai County and The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to French Frigate Shoals.
Hurricane Warning: Kauai County, including the islands of Kauai and Niihau and The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to French Frigate Shoals.
Tropical Storm Warning: Kauai County, including the islands of Kauai and Niihau.
Hurricane Lowell is 115 mph, about 455 miles southwest of Lihue, Hawaii. The center is forecast to pass near Kauai late Monday.
This is the first hurricane warning for Kauai since Douglas in 2020, and Hawaii's second in three weeks after Lala. Lala was an 80 mph Category 1 when it brushed the Big Island. Lowell is 115 mph right now.
Winds and surf arrive before the center does. If you are in the warning area, finish your preparations today and listen to local officials.
We are watching this closely.
Just landed in Lihue, HI ahead of the passage of Hurricane #Lowell tomorrow afternoon thru Tuesday morning. Planning to be live on YouTube and the @WxWiseApp for the majority of this storm. Hoping for minimal impacts across the island chain…

Will have to monitor in the coming days…but the threat for another tropical system impacting Hawaii may be returning by this weekend.
Here are the 7am HST 19 Aug: Key Messages for an area of low pressure located well to the ESE of the Hawaiian Islands (#EP90) which has a high chance (90%🔴) of TC formation in the next day or so. Check back for more information at hurricanes.gov and @NWSHonolulu

Out with old, in with new. Devastating #Hurricane #LALA has pulled away from #Hawaii, but new threat is brewing. Invest 90E is a healthy disturbance that will soon become TS—maybe more. Models take it generally NW to near or S of Hawaiian Islands in ~5 days. Need to watch.

NHC is monitoring two areas in the East and Central Pacific for tropical development.
1. High chance (80%) for development off the SW coast of Mexico this weekend.
2. High chance (70%) for development well southeast of the Hawaiian Islands late this week or this weekend.
ALT 1. South-Southwest of Mexico (0%/80%): An area of low pressure is forecast to form several hundred miles south-southwest of the coast of southern Mexico around the end of the week. Gradual development of this system is likely thereafter, and a tropical depression is expected to form this weekend while the system moves generally west-northwestward, remaining well offshore of Mexico. 2. Western Portion of the East Pacific and the Central Pacific (30%/70%): A tropical wave located well to the east-southeast of the Hawaiian Islands continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form towards the end of the week or over the weekend while the system moves generally westward across the western portion of the east Pacific and into the Central Pacific.
