Hurricane Nolo, a Category 2 storm with winds up to 105 mph, is near the Big Island of Hawaii, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. Officials are also watching the Kilauea volcano for possible volcanic activity that could cause "volcanic hail," which might damage water supplies and roads in the area.
Key Facts
Hurricane Nolo is currently a Category 2 hurricane located about 200 miles south of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Nolo’s winds reach up to 105 mph and it is moving west at 9 mph.
The hurricane weakened briefly but then strengthened again and may get stronger while moving west, staying south of the islands.
Rain bands from Nolo are affecting parts of the Big Island and Maui, with a flood watch active through Sunday night.
Tropical alerts for Hawaii were canceled due to Nolo’s weakening trend, but some gusty winds remain through Sunday evening.
There are three hurricanes in the Pacific right now: Nolo, Polo (Category 3), and Odalys (Category 1).
Officials are concerned about volcanic ash, called tephra or “volcanic hail,” coming from the Kilauea volcano, which could damage water catchment tanks, pools, roads, and disrupt the community.
Hawaii is still recovering from four costly natural disasters earlier in 2026, including Hurricane Lala six weeks ago.
