AssistAlert: Severe Weather Impacts Hawaii and the U.S. East Coast

09/25/2026

Travel disruptions are possible across parts of the United States as Hurricane Nolo threatens Hawaii and a Nor’easter moves across portions of the East Coast this weekend.

Hurricane Nolo, a Category 1 hurricane, is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane as it approaches Hawaii’s Big Island, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and dangerous coastal conditions. The storm is expected to impact the Big Island most severely, with conditions extending to Maui, Lanai, and Molokai through the weekend. Heavy rainfall could trigger flooding and mudslides, potentially disrupting road access and transportation, while dangerous seas may disrupt maritime travel. Government offices, schools, and parks have announced closures in anticipation of the storm.

A powerful Nor’easter is also expected to affect the U.S. East Coast through the weekend, with conditions extending from North Carolina to New England. Strong winds, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding, and power outages could create hazardous road conditions and closures, particularly along the Jersey Shore, Long Island, and coastal New England. Flight delays are possible at Boston Logan International Airport and New York City’s major airports. The storm is expected to weaken early next week, although lingering rainfall and gusty winds may continue to affect travel.

  • Monitor local news for weather-related updates and follow all official directives.
  • Avoid unnecessary travel in storm-affected regions.
  • Prepare a three-day supply of provisions and non-perishables.
  • Confirm all transport reservations.
