Rain bands from Hurricane Nolo to reach Hawaii later today...
Over the next 24 hours, Nolo is expected to make a slow but sharp turn toward the west, keeping the core of the storm well south of Hawaii. However, the threat from heavy rainfall will continue to expand, with rain expected to become more widespread and intense across the Big Island later today.
Up to 20 inches of rain is expected in some areas, with isolated totals potentially reaching 25 inches. This could lead to catastrophic flooding and mudslides, especially across the island's steep terrain.
Nolo may stay south of Hawaii, but the rainfall threat remains by far the most concerning aspect of this storm.
