Hurricane Lowell is still a Category 4 storm and is expected to pass near Hawaii, with local authorities and residents preparing for possible impacts. Reports from multiple outlets say the hurricane has strengthened and is holding Category 4 strength as it moves through the Pacific.
The sources frame the development similarly—emphasizing the storm’s intensity and the potential for a close approach to the islands. Where they differ is mainly in wording and emphasis: one outlet highlights the hurricane “holds” Category 4 strength, while another stresses that Lowell has “strengthened” to Category 4. Both describe Hawaii as bracing for potential effects linked to the hurricane’s track and strength, including the risk of damaging winds and hazardous weather.
Overall, the common thread across coverage is that Lowell’s Category 4 status is the key factor shaping preparedness efforts in Hawaii, pending further updates on its path and timing.
