Summary
Maui County officials told residents to prepare now for a tropical depression expected to strengthen into Tropical Storm Moke, with possible impacts across Hawaii from late Saturday through late Monday.
National Weather Service forecasts the system to track west-northwest and pass near or south of the Big Island this weekend, but warned its path could still shift and impacts can spread far from the center.
Heavy rain, strong winds and high surf are the main Maui County threats, with saturated ground from Tropical Storm Lala raising flood risk less than a week after that storm.
Friday could bring watches for the state, while Maui emergency officials urged households to keep 14 days of supplies, secure homes, plan for outages and sign up for county alerts.
