热带风暴拉拉正在逼近夏威夷大岛，预计将增强为飓风登陆该岛，这将是155年来首次飓风在该岛登陆[1]。美国国家飓风中心为大岛发布了罕见的飓风预警，警告可能发生生命威胁的洪水、山体滑坡和风灾[1]。截至夏威夷时间上午2点，风暴位于南点东南方140英里，最大持续风速65英里/小时，向西北方向移动，速度为13英里/小时[1]。
大岛高地地区可能降雨量达25英寸（63.5厘米），热带风暴风力范围已扩展至220英里[1]。州长乔什·格林表示："这是一场巨大的风暴"[1]。预计该系统将在周日上午影响瓦胡岛和考艾岛[1]。历史上，上一次飓风登陆该岛还要追溯到1871年，当时一场三级飓风在大岛东北角登陆[1]。
Tropical Storm Lala is bearing down on Hawaii's Big Island as it strengthens toward hurricane status, with the U.S. National Hurricane Center issuing a rare hurricane warning for the island [1]. If the storm reaches hurricane strength upon landfall, it would mark the first hurricane to strike the Big Island in 155 years [1]. The last hurricane to make landfall on the island occurred in 1871, when a Category 3 storm hit the northeast corner [1].
High-elevation areas of the Big Island could receive up to 25 inches of rainfall, with the tropical storm's wind field extending 220 miles across [1]. The National Hurricane Center has warned of life-threatening flooding, mudslides, and wind damage [1]. As of 2 a.m. Hawaii time, the storm was located 140 miles southeast of South Point with maximum sustained winds of 65 miles per hour, moving northwest at 13 miles per hour [1]. The system is expected to reach Oahu and Kauai on Sunday morning [1]. Governor Josh Green characterized the approaching weather as "a huge storm" [1].
