Lowell Becomes a Hurricane in the Pacific and Is Forecast to Strengthen to a Major Hurricane
Forecasters said Lowell’s winds reached 80 mph and could become a major hurricane by Wednesday as it moved west-northwest over the Pacific.
- On Tuesday, Hurricane Lowell was centered about 575 miles southeast of Hilo, Hawaii, moving west-northwest at 12 mph toward the Big Island. Forecasters expect the storm to reach major hurricane status by Wednesday as it passes around 300 miles south of the island.
- The Central Pacific Hurricane Center warned the system is poised for rapid intensification over the next 48 hours, with environmental conditions increasingly favorable for significant strengthening. Lowell is expected to reach major hurricane status with maximum sustained winds rising to 120 mph by Wednesday.
- Overlapping ocean swells generated by the storm will reach Hawaii shores by midweek, bringing dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents. Tightening pressure gradients will bring strong, gusty tradewinds Thursday and Friday, with localized gusts exceeding 50 mph.
- Elsewhere in the Pacific, Hurricane Karina remains a powerful Category 4 storm located 1,210 miles west-southwest of the tip of Baja California, Mexico. The hurricane is expected to begin a gradual weakening trend on Tuesday as it tracks west-northwestward.
- Long-Range modeling for Labor Day weekend remains highly uncertain as an upper-level trough develops north of the region. Forecasters noted this creates potential for both systems to influence local weather patterns well into next week.
