Tropical Storm Hone Poised to Hit Hawaii, Stay Below Hurricane Level: Warnings, Impacts and Emergency Measures Detailed

Tropical storm Hone Expected to Stay Below Hurricane Level

The tropical storm Hone, presently situated 105 miles south southeast of the Big Island, is predicted to remain below hurricane level according to recent weather updates.

Storm’s Movement

Currently, the storm is moving west at a speed of 15 mph, boasting maximum sustained winds of 70 mph. This westward movement of the storm is expected to continue through Sunday, resulting in potentially dangerous surf and rip conditions. Despite these dangerous conditions, the storm is projected to remain just below hurricane intensity as it continues its path.

Storm Warnings

In response to the ongoing tropical conditions, authorities have issued a Tropical Storm Warning for Hawaii County. This warning signifies that tropical storm conditions are expected within the next 36 hours. On the other hand, the previously issued red flag warning was dropped for all islands on Saturday evening. Despite falling below the hurricane level, government officials urge residents to take the current storm conditions seriously.

Projected Impacts Of The Storm

As per the forecasts, Hone will bring heavy rain to the Hilo side of the Big Island late Saturday night. Moreover, the storm is expected to play a significant part in escalating wind speeds, especially in the downslope of higher terrain, over headlands, and through passes. The storm’s current trajectory suggests it may come near or south of the Big Island Saturday night, into early Sunday. Maximum wind intensification is predicted before Hone peaks, which is expected to happen on Sunday into Monday.

Wind

As per reports, tropical storm conditions are expected on the Big Island, particularly tonight through early Sunday. The wind conditions are expected to be strongest down the slope of a higher terrain, over the headlands, and through the valleys.

Rainfall

Hone is expected to produce storm total rainfall of 6 to 12 inches over mainly windward and southeast facing slopes of the Big Island, with locally higher amounts possible. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches will be possible over sections of the smaller islands, mainly on the windward side.

Surf

Life-threatening surf and rip conditions are likely to persist through Sunday as Hone continues its westward path. These large swells generated by Hone are expected to pose a significant threat to coastal areas.

Emergency Proclamation

In response to the potential damage and threat posed by Tropical Storm Hone, an Emergency Proclamation has been issued. This proclamation will make state resources available as necessary to help ensure public safety and protect property.

As the storm approaches, residents are reminded to stay informed about the latest news and updates related to the storm.
