00:00Hawaii is facing another tropical threat. Just days after Hurricane Lala battered the islands
00:05with heavy rain, a new tropical depression southeast of Hawaii could strengthen into a
00:10tropical storm this weekend. The National Hurricane Center reported maximum sustained winds of 35
00:16miles per hour. Forecasters expect the system to pass roughly 75 to 100 miles south of the
00:22Big Island. But heavy rainfall remains the biggest concern, especially across southern parts of the
00:28island, several inches to a foot or more of rain could fall. With an AccuWeather estimate reaching
00:3324 inches, because the ground is already saturated, additional rain could trigger flash flooding and
00:39mudslides. Strong wind gusts could also bring down trees and cause power outages on the Big Island.
00:46The first showers and thunderstorms are expected to arrive Sunday before spreading westward.
00:51Forecasters are closely watching the storm's track. Strength and potential impacts across Hawaii.
