Summary

Tropical Storm Nolo strengthened into Hurricane Nolo in late September 2026 as it approached Hawaii's Big Island. The storm reached Category 2 status with maximum sustained winds of 105 mph before approaching the islands. Federal emergency declarations were issued, and multiple counties across Hawaii County and Maui County closed offices and opened shelters in preparation. The National Weather Service issued hurricane watches, tropical storm warnings, and flood watches for affected areas. Forecasts predicted heavy rainfall ranging from 10 to 15 inches with localized maxima up to 25 inches, strong winds with gusts up to 50 mph, and potential for catastrophic flooding and mudslides. Governor Josh Green urged residents on the southern Big Island to evacuate if unsafe. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park partially reopened by September 28 following the storm's passage. By early October, Nolo had weakened to tropical storm status with 75 mph winds and was located west-southwest of French Frigate Shoals, moving westward through the Pacific Ocean. The storm followed Hurricane Lala, which had impacted Hawaii in August.
