Hurricane Lowell is forecast to bring life-threatening conditions to Hawaii, particularly dangerous surf, even as it is expected to pass west of the main islands. NBC reports that the storm is projected to sidestep the major Hawaiian islands by Monday night, but that hazardous conditions continue to threaten people along exposed coastlines.
Other coverage emphasizes the possibility that the storm track changes and affects more of the island chain. The New York Post says Lowell takes a drastic turn toward the islands and may shift north on Sunday, which could increase risks such as damaging winds, dangerous surf, and flooding in the western Hawaiian Islands.
Across the outlets, both accounts focus on potential impacts to Hawaii, especially rough seas. They differ primarily in how sharply they describe the storm’s turn and the breadth of expected effects, with NBC stressing an overall westward forecast passage and the Post highlighting scenarios that would bring additional hazards including flooding.
