Hurricane Lowell is forecast to pass near Niihau Island during late Monday into early Tuesday, with the storm expected to deliver significant impacts across the Hawaiian Islands.1 The hurricane was classified as a Category 2 storm on Monday afternoon.1 Hawaii Governor Josh Green announced the closure of schools and government offices on Kauai, Niihau, and Oahu in response to the approaching threat.1
The National Weather Service in Hawaii has issued a hurricane warning for the affected areas.1 Kauai is anticipated to experience the most severe rainfall, with some portions receiving up to 24 inches of precipitation, along with threats of mudslides, tornadoes, and dangerous waves.1 Oahu, home to nearly one million residents, is expected to see up to 10 inches of rain, while Maui is forecast to receive the same amount and portions of the Big Island up to 12 inches.1 Governor Green stated that "closing offices, schools and courts will help people stay away from roads in dangerous conditions and allow emergency personnel to focus on protecting our communities."1 Kauai has a population exceeding 73,000, while Niihau is home to fewer than 100 residents.1 The islands are still recovering from Tropical Storm Lara last month, which damaged approximately 100 homes and caused widespread power outages.1
