Tropical Storm Lala Expected to Bring Hurricane Conditions and Heavy Rain to Hawaii

Tropical Storm Lala is forecast to bring hurricane conditions and widespread heavy rainfall, 5 to 10 inches with isolated maximums up to 20 inches, to the Hawaiian island chain, particularly the Big Island, starting Saturday, August 15. This poses a considerable risk of life-threatening flash and urban flooding, along with mudslides, necessitating potential tropical storm or hurricane watches.
