Lowell to Impact Hawaii; Heat Persists in the South-Central U.S.

Hurricane Lowell is forecast to pass west of Kauai`s coastal waters tonight. Impacts such as high surf and heavy rain could impact all of the islands. Sweltering heat remains across the South-Central Plains and Lower/Middle Mississippi Valley into this week with limited nighttime relief. Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall will be possible through Tuesday morning in the northern Rockies. Read More >

In effort to supplement the forecast package that we send out multiple times a day, forecasters will also put together a summary weather story which we post to our social media platforms, as well as to our JKL homepage (www.weather.gov/jkl). We use specialized PowerPoint software to compile these weather stories, with a goal of highlighting the most important/impactful weather information for the next several days. We also send out Graphical NowCast images, which highlight the most significant weather (if any weather is occurring) for the next few hours. These are typically made on the fly and updated multiple times throughout an event to include information such as timing and impacts.
