Tropical Storm Nolo develops in the Pacific and moves toward Hawaii, prompting officials to issue a hurricane watch. Multiple outlets report that Nolo is expected to strengthen and could become a hurricane later in the week as it approaches the islands.
Newsweek says the storm is forecast to become a hurricane later on Thursday. CBS News similarly projects hurricane development on Thursday, and adds that the system could intensify further into a major hurricane by the weekend as it nears Hawaii’s Big Island. The outlets focus on different portions of the timeline—both agree on the key point that hurricane conditions are possible soon and that Hawaii remains at risk as the storm tracks closer.
The hurricane watch signals that hurricane conditions are possible in the watch area, though it does not guarantee that they will occur. Meteorological forecasts and storm tracking continue to guide updates as Nolo’s path and strength change.
