Moke was moving west at 13 mph Monday with 35 mph sustained winds after weakening from a 40 mph tropical storm that passed several hundred miles south of Hawaii’s Big Island.
Eastern Maui and the Big Island could still get 3 to 6 inches of rain, with flash flooding, landslides and scattered power outages possible on ground already saturated by Hurricane Lala.
Early Monday rainfall was lighter than feared—generally under 2 to 3 inches on the Big Island—and no damaging flooding had been reported, though a flood watch remained in effect through Monday afternoon local time.
Moke is expected to dissipate late Monday or Tuesday, but it is already Hawaii’s second named storm in the past week and part of an unusually active Pacific season for the islands.
