Hawaii is now facing flooding from Tropical Storm Moke just a week after destructive flooding and winds from Hurricane Lala last weekend.

Where is Moke right now?

Tropical Storm Moke is located more than 500 miles southeast of Hilo, moving toward the west-northwest. Moke is pronounced "MOH-keh."

The National Hurricane Center issued its first advisory on Tropical Depression Two-C Thursday morning. It was upgraded to a tropical storm Friday morning.

What is the forecast?

Most models are in agreement on the forecast track, which takes Moke farther south of the islands than Lala last weekend. Even though the storm will track be further from the islands, it doesn't mean there won't still be impacts.

Rainfall, changes in wind and high surf are expected to ramp up by Sunday.

The timing of Moke's closest approach to the Big Island appears to be Sunday, after which it moves south of the rest of the island chain on Monday.

Moke may eventually battle wind shear and drier air, and that should keep its wind intensity in check as a tropical storm.

What are the impacts to Hawaii?

The most serious concern is additional heavy rain and flash flooding just days after Hurricane Lala triggered damaging flooding on the Big Island, and locally flooding rain in other parts of the island chain.

A flood watch is in effect for the Big Island.

According to the National Hurricane Center, 5 to 15 inches of rain is possible on the Big Island, especially over the mountains and eastern slopes.

This means additional life-threatening flash flooding and landslides are likely.

Maui could see up to 4 inches of rain while the remaining smaller islands could see up to 2 inches. This could lead to local flash flooding, again especially over mountains and nearby slopes.

While no tropical storm watches are in the forecast at this time due to Moke traveling further south than Lala, there is still a chance of some gusty winds this weekend, especially across higher terrain.
