Hawaii prepared for the onslaught of Hurricane Douglas on Sunday, with predictions of high winds, rain and storm surge.
"It's definitely going to be a triple threat," said National Weather Service meteorologist Vanessa Almanza said.
"Douglas is continuing a gradual, slow, weakening trend, which in itself is good news, but the bad news is that this hurricane is going to come very close to the islands even as it's weakening," said Robert Ballard, the science and operations officer at the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. "And we do expect significant impacts as it makes its point of closest approach or possible landfall as it comes through.
The National Weather Service said parts of Maui will feel the first impacts of Hurricane Douglas on Sunday morning, followed by Oahu about midday and the islands of Kauai and Niihau in the evening."We know that it is weakening as it approaches, but it still will have significant impact on each island," Hawaii Gov. David Ige said at a Saturday news conference.
