00:06moving toward the islands. The National Hurricane Center has designated it Tropical Depression 2C.
00:12The system is about 1,000 miles east-southeast of Hawaii. It is moving west-northwest toward
00:18the islands. Forecasters expect it to strengthen into Tropical Storm Moke. Moke could pass south
00:24of Hawaii between Sunday and Monday. The big island could face the greatest impacts. Forecasters warn of
00:305 to 15 inches of rain there. Other parts of Hawaii could receive 1 to 5 inches. That rainfall could
00:36trigger dangerous flash flooding. Mountain areas could also face landslides. The threat comes after
00:42Lala already caused damaging flooding. Forecasters say Moke's exact track remains uncertain. Some
00:48models keep the storm well south of Hawaii. Others bring it closer to the islands. Residents are urged
00:54to monitor forecasts closely. Officials are watching for additional flooding and strong winds.
