Summary[edit]

Description
English: The state of Hawaii faces a significant threat from powerful Hurricane Lane, which is expected to track northward toward the islands by the end of this week. This image from the GOES-15 satellite shows Hurricane Lane, with a well-defined eye, positioned about 300 miles south of Hawaii's Big Island at 2 p.m. ET on August 22, 2018. Lane briefly reached Category 5 intensity early Wednesday, with sustained winds of 160 mph, before weakening slightly to a high-end Category 4 storm. The latest forecast from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center shows the storm beginning a northward turn, putting Hawaii at risk of significant impacts, including damaging winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and storm surge. On Wednesday, the National Weather Service issued a hurricane warning for Hawaii's Big Island and Maui, while hurricane watches are in effect across the rest of the state.
