Storm watch for Hawaii Island

Storm watch for Hawaii Island

A tropical storm watch has been issued for Hawaii Island as Hilda is forecast to pass near or over Hawaii Island as early as tonight.

While Hilda is still a category 1 hurricane, it is expected to weaken to a tropical storm or depression as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands with the potential for heavy rain, high surf and high winds.

For official updates, regularly check in with the following websites, as well as tuning in to local news broadcasts for further information:

Visitors should familiarise themselves with this information, listen to ocean safety officials and exercise caution when entering the water as high surf messages are issued.

The Hawaii Tourism Authority will continue to provide any storm-related updates that may impact visitors. If you wish to receive our updates, please sign up at www.hawaiitourismauthority.org.
