Hurricane Nolo weakens to category one and moves further from Hawaii

Hurricane Nolo weakened to category one, but will continue to bring heavy rains and gusty winds to Hawaii over the weekend. The U.S. National Hurricane Monitoring Center said the storm was gradually moving away from the islands.

Late Saturday night, the Nolo was moving west at about 8 mph. The maximum sustained wind speed was 90 miles per hour. Earlier Friday, the hurricane reached category two with winds of up to 105 mph. All warnings about the danger to Hawaii have been lifted.

In the east and south of the island of Hawaii, up to 508 millimeters of precipitation is expected, and in the western part - up to 51 millimeters. On Maui can fall from 102 to 203 millimeters of rain, on the remaining islands - from 25 to 76 millimeters. Authorities warned of the possibility of local flooding, and all state parks in Hawaii closed due to bad weather.

At the same time, forecasters expect a new strengthening of Nolo on Sunday and Monday. The hurricane could reach category three and become a major one before starting to weaken next week. US President Donald Trump has previously approved the introduction of a state of emergency in Hawaii.
