Hawaii Weather News

Across the network, the weather coverage is centered on two linked themes: continued monitoring of Tropical Storm Lowell and the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Lala. Reports from Kauaʻi Now and Big Island Now say Lowell is still expected to pose no immediate threat to the islands, even as forecasters track its westward movement and note it could intensify over the next two days. Maui Now adds that Lowell remains far east of the Big Island, reinforcing the message that officials are watching the system closely while urging preparedness for possible severe weather.

At the same time, several reports show the aftermath of Hurricane Lala still shaping daily life and utility work. Hawaiian Electric says major repairs have been completed on Hawaiʻi Island ahead of schedule, with both Big Island Now and Maui Now noting progress on damaged electrical systems. But recovery is not fully finished: Big Island Now says some customers still face outages tied to access and restoration challenges.

The storm’s impact also extends beyond infrastructure. Maui Now reports that The Sewing Hui is seeking help after flooding damaged its Maui studio, while another Maui piece urges donors to verify charities before giving to disaster relief efforts. Alongside these recovery stories, the network is also publishing routine local weather and surf forecasts for Maui, the Big Island and Kauaʻi, showing a return to day-to-day forecasting even as storm-related concerns remain active.
