00:00A new tropical rainstorm is tracking toward Hawaii.
00:02The system is moving in just days after Hurricane Lala hit the islands.
00:07Forecasters say it could strengthen into a hurricane this weekend.
00:10The Big Island is expected to see the biggest impacts.
00:13The storm may pass 75 to 100 miles south of the island.
00:17Several inches to a foot or more of rain are possible.
00:21AccuWeather's initial rainfall maximum is 24 inches.
00:24That raises concerns about flash flooding and mudslides.
00:27The ground remains saturated after Lala brought multiple feet of rain.
00:31Wet soil could also make trees more likely to fall.
00:34The first showers and thunderstorms could arrive Sunday.
00:37Forecasters say the storm's exact track will determine the severity of impacts.
00:42Meanwhile, Lala remains a powerful Category 3 hurricane over the Pacific.
