Hawaii – Hurricane Lester

Lester is expected to gradually weaken over the next several days, though it could remain a Category 1 hurricane as it passes to the northeast of the island chain Sept. 3-4. Current models do not indicate that Hurricane Lester will make direct landfall; however, it still has the potential to bring heavy rainfall. By the time it reaches the islands, the ground will already be saturated from Hurricane Madeline, especially Big Island and Maui.
