Hurricane Nolo is expected to bring heavy rainfall and life-threatening flooding to Hawaii this weekend.

Hurricane Nolo is strengthening as it approaches Hawaii's Big Island, where it is forecast to bring potentially catastrophic and life-threatening flooding this weekend. The state has activated over 230 National Guard members and closed schools in preparation. Although the storm may not make direct landfall, forecasters warn of heavy rainfall of up to 25 inches and large waves affecting communities still recovering from hurricanes Lala and Lowell earlier in the summer. Simultaneously, Hurricane Polo is battering Mexico's southwestern coast with heavy rains that could cause torrential flooding and landslides. A powerful nor'easter is also affecting the US east coast with high winds and heavy rain.
