Lowell Looms Near Hawaii with Heavy Rain and Dangerous Surf

Hurricane Lowell remains a major Category 4 storm that will pass just west of the main Hawaiian Islands over Labor Day weekend, bringing heavy rainfall (4–10 inches across most of Hawaii, with up to 14+ inches in some areas), dangerous surf, and possible tropical-storm to hurricane conditions in parts of Kauai and offshore near the Papahānaumokuākea area; storm surge could reach 1–3 feet in Kauai and up to 1 foot on Oahu. Forecasters warn a small eastward track shift could worsen winds, so residents should monitor forecasts, heed warnings, and complete hurricane preparations this weekend.

Two Fremont Women Die After Being Swept From Santa Cruz Beach

Two Fremont women, Harshita Nair and Mahial Sran, were swept into the Pacific while napping near a keyhole at Bonny Doon Beach in Santa Cruz County. About eight rescue swimmers helped recover them; one was helicoptered to Yellow Bank Beach and later died, while the other remained in critical condition at a local hospital. Officials say the area’s steep shoreline and rogue waves make this stretch especially dangerous, and this rescue was the fifth along the coast in the past month.

"Hurricane Lee Threatens East Coast with Dangerous Rip Currents and Coastal Erosion"

Hurricane Lee is expected to stay offshore and not directly impact Maryland, but it will bring rough and dangerous surf to the state's beaches. The storm is regaining strength and will generate large swells, waves, and dangerous rip currents. While the wind intensity will weaken, the wind field will expand, potentially affecting areas several hundred miles from the storm's center. Swimming is not advised, and it is recommended to visit beaches with lifeguards on duty. Eastern New England and Canada may experience direct impacts from Lee later in the week or next weekend.

"Hurricane Lee Threatens East Coast with Restrengthening and Hazardous Beach Conditions"

Hurricane Lee, currently a Category 3 storm, is expected to restrengthen and bring dangerous surf conditions along the U.S. East Coast. While it is forecasted to steer north of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, it could still cause life-threatening rip currents in various areas. The hurricane's impact on the East Coast, Atlantic Canada, and Bermuda is uncertain at this time, but dangerous surf and rip currents are expected to begin on Sunday and worsen throughout the week.

Tropical storm Franklin has intensified into a Category 1 hurricane and is expected to bring dangerous surf conditions to the East Coast early next week.

Dangerous rip currents are also anticipated along the East Coast, with potential impact on the Atlantic coast of Canada.

Memorial Day Weekend Weather Updates and Warnings.

A non-tropical low pressure system off the coast of South Carolina is expected to produce dangerous surf and rip current conditions along portions of the southeastern United States coast today. The system is unlikely to become a subtropical or tropical storm, but locally heavy rainfall is possible in portions of the Carolinas and Virginia during the next day or so. Florida beaches on the East Coast are also expected to experience dangerous surf and rip currents. Residents are urged to monitor the tropics and always be prepared.
