Hurricane Lowell nears western Hawaii
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is monitoring a hurricane warning for the islands of Kauai and Niihau. We are tracking Hurricane Lowell, which is making a very close pass to the western islands. The storm will be impactful over the next 24 to 48 hours. Lowell, a Category 2 hurricane, does not appear likely to make landfall. The storm will bring rounds of heavy rainfall, while hurricane-force winds will need to be monitored near the islands, including Honolulu. As we near the peak of hurricane season, the next name on the 2026 Atlantic storm list is Fay.

Quiet Atlantic, active Pacific
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg talks about how we are just one week away from the peak of the hurricane season, which is September 10th, and the Atlantic Basin is incredibly quiet. The massive wind shear created by the raging El Niño has basically shut down the Atlantic. Typically, it does slow down the Atlantic, but Eastern Pacific activity increase. There are three hurricanes in the Eastern Pacific right now, with the strongest one, Lowell, perhaps threatening Hawaii early next week.
