Alert: Special Weather Statement issued July 23 at 4:09PM HST by NWS Honolulu

…HURRICANE DOUGLAS TO MOVE NEAR OR OVER THE ISLANDS THIS
WEEKEND…
The latest forecast from the National Hurricane Center indicates
that Hurricane Douglas will move near, or over, portions of the
main Hawaiian Islands this weekend. The potentially close passage
of this hurricane brings a triple threat of hazards to the state,
including but not limited to damaging winds, flooding rainfall,
and dangerously rough seas that could result in damaging surf,
especially along east facing shores. Watches could be required for
portions of the state Friday, with impacts potentially beginning
as early as Saturday night.
It is still too early to determine where impacts may be greatest,
so everyone in the state of Hawaii needs to take time to prepare
now. Review and execute your family emergency preparedness plan
and remember that the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency
recommends that you have a 14 day supply of food, water, and
medicine for you and your ohana.
Keep up to date with the latest forecast information through the
internet (hurricanes.gov), local media, social media, or NOAA
Weather Radio broadcasts.
