A new storm is forecast to bring flooding rain and potential mudslides to Hawaii’s Big Island as residents there still recover from last week’s Hurricane Lala.<\/a><\/p>\n

The system strengthened into Tropical Storm Moke on Friday, with 45 mph winds.<\/p>\n

Moke\u00a0should remain\u00a0weaker than Hurricane Lala. It will\u00a0move south of\u00a0Hawaii’s Big Island,\u00a0with rain overspreading the area\u00a0on Saturday night, and then hammer the island on Sunday and into Monday.<\/p>\n

The storm is expected to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches, with maximum amounts of 15 inches across the Big Island. That rain could bring life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in steep terrain and in areas that were impacted by Lala.<\/p>\n

Lala\u00a0moved south of\u00a0<\/a>the Big Island on Sunday as a Category 1 hurricane,\u00a0<\/a>damaging or destroying more than 100 homes\u00a0and cutting off some communities,\u00a0according to the governor. The storm dumped more than a foot of rain over parts of the state, with the\u00a0highest elevations\u00a0getting more than 40 inches. Thousands on the Big Island are still without power.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
