Lowell Elevates to Category 3 as Hawaii Braces for Approaching Storm

Hurricane Lowell has intensified to a powerful Category 3 with 125 mph winds and is turning toward Hawaii, with the eye forecast to pass about 100–200 miles west of Niʻihau Monday night. A tropical-storm watch remains for Kauaʻi County and a hurricane watch for Papahānaumokuākea; tropical-storm conditions could arrive late Monday for Kauaʻi and hurricane conditions Monday night in eastern Papahānaumokuākea. The islands face heavy rainfall (roughly 2–6 inches on the Big Island, 4–8 inches on Kauaʻi, with some spots 12 inches or more), potential storm surge of 1–3 feet near the coast, and elevated surf, plus a risk of tornadoes in rainbands. Officials urge residents to monitor forecasts, prepare emergency supplies, and follow alerts as Lowell approaches.

Bertha Nears the Texas Coast, Triggers Storm Watch and Prep in Houston and Galveston

Tropical Storm Bertha is approaching the Texas coast, prompting a Tropical Storm Watch for Galveston and much of the Upper Texas Coast. Forecasts call for sustained winds of 25-35 mph with gusts up to 45 mph and increasing rainfall, especially along the I-10 corridor toward the coast. Officials say impacts are not expected to be widespread, and the storm could bring relief from recent heat, but residents are urged to review hurricane plans, stock supply kits, and prepare for a more active season.

Hurricane Lee's Uncertain Path Threatens New England with Dangerous Surf and Strong Winds

Hurricane Lee, currently a Category 3 storm, is expected to pass near Bermuda before continuing northward towards New England. While a U.S. landfall is not expected, New England residents should prepare for potential impacts including tropical-storm-force winds, dangerous surf, and life-threatening rip currents. Lee is forecasted to weaken and become extratropical, resembling a nor'easter rather than a hurricane. Coastal areas of Massachusetts and Maine may experience rain and winds of 40 mph or greater, with the risk of beach erosion and coastal flooding. A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Bermuda, and residents in New England are advised to monitor Lee's progress and make necessary preparations.
