Hurricane watch issued as storm nears Hawaii's Big Island
The Central Pacific Hurricane Center on Monday issued a hurricane watch for the Big Island of Hawaii as Hurricane Madeline closed in on the island.
The storm should be near or over the Big Island by Wednesday, said forecaster Derek Wroe.
Madeline was a Category 3 hurricane at midday Monday. Forecasters said it may strengthen over the next 12 to 24 hours but would likely weaken Tuesday because of upper atmosphere conditions.
The Center's advisory on Madeline said Big Island residents could experience hurricane force winds, heavy rain and high surf on Wednesday.
Madeline was 630 miles east of Hilo on Monday and moving west northwest at 10 mph.
The hurricane had sustained winds near 115 mph.

Hurricane watch issued as storm nears Hawaii's Big Island The Central Pacific Hurricane Center on Monday issued a hurricane watch for the Big Island of Hawaii as Hurricane Madeline closed in on the island. The storm should be near or over the Big Island by Wednesday, said forecaster Derek Wroe. Madeline was a Category 3 hurricane at midday Monday. Forecasters said it may strengthen over the next 12 to 24 hours but would likely weaken Tuesday because of upper atmosphere conditions. The Center's advisory on Madeline said Big Island residents could experience hurricane force winds, heavy rain and high surf on Wednesday. Madeline was 630 miles east of Hilo on Monday and moving west northwest at 10 mph. The hurricane had sustained winds near 115 mph. The National Weather Service says Hurricane Madeline could come dangerously close to the Big Island by Wednesday and may have impacts worse than Tropical Storm Iselle in 2014. "This looks like potentially the strongest tropical cyclone, which includes hurricanes and tropical storms, to approach very close to the coast in the past several years," said meteorologist Chris Brenchley with the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. |
