Hurricane Nolo has strengthened into a Category 3 hurricane while moving through the Pacific Ocean, threatening the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. Following this intensification, it is expected to cross the International Date Line, where it will transition into a typhoon. This rare change marks a significant milestone for Nolo as it moves westward, with potential impacts of heavy rain anticipated for regions like Kauaʻi and Ni‘ihau. Residents in Hawaii have braced for the storm, recalling lessons from previous hurricanes.
