Tropical Storm Moke is expected to form and pass south of the Hawaiian Islands this weekend, bringing significant rainfall and potential for life-threatening surf. The storm, currently designated as Tropical Depression Two-C by the National Hurricane Center, is forecast to bring 5 to 10 inches of rain to the Big Island, with isolated amounts exceeding a foot. Swells generated by the depression are also anticipated to cause dangerous surf conditions across the islands, a pattern consistent with El Niño conditions in the Pacific basin. AI
