Tropical storm nolo hawaii

On 2 October 2026, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center officially declared that Tropical Storm Nolo had dissipated into a remnant low-pressure system as it moved toward the Hawaiian Islands. The storm, which had been closely monitored by meteorologists throughout the week, lost its organized structure due to increasing vertical wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures as it tracked northwest. While the system brought increased moisture and the potential for localized heavy rainfall to the windward slopes of the islands, the anticipated threat of severe gale-force winds and significant storm surge failed to materialize. Emergency management officials in Hawaii had spent the previous days preparing residents for potential flash flooding and high surf, but the weakening of the storm allowed for the cancellation of most active weather watches. Despite the dissipation, authorities continued to advise the public to remain cautious of lingering moisture that could trigger minor flooding in low-lying areas through the weekend. The event serves as a reminder of the ongoing volatility of the Pacific hurricane season as it nears its conclusion.
