The National Weather Service issued Flood Watches for the islands of Hawaii and Maui County on September 23, 2026. The watches are in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Saturday evening and are due to a tropical system that has a 90% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone. The system is the former Tropical Depression 15-E, which, when it becomes a tropical storm, will be named "Nolo." The forecasts warn of heavy rain, with potential for catastrophic flooding and mudslides from rainfall exceeding one foot.
