(Update: 5 a.m. HST Monday, Aug. 24, 2026) Tropical Depression Moke continues to weaken south of the islands, and flash flooding remains a threat for parts of the Big Island, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center. Forecasters expect the system to degrade into a remnant low later today and dissipate on Tuesday.
At 5 a.m., the center of Tropical Depression Moke was about 445 miles southwest of Hilo near 15.5 North, 160.2 West. The system was moving west near 14 mph, a track that will carry it farther away from Hawaiʻi over the next day or two.
Maximum sustained winds were near 35 mph with higher gusts. The estimated minimum central pressure was 1004 mb, or 29.65 inches.
Tropical Depression Moke rainfall outlook
Forecasters said Tropical Depression Moke will bring additional rainfall of 2 to 4 inches through Monday across the Big Island and 1 to 3 inches over eastern Maui. The heaviest rain could trigger flash flooding on windward and southeast sections of the Big Island, especially in steep terrain and in areas recently impacted by Lala.
Flood prone and low lying spots, including urban areas, may also see rapid runoff and localized flooding.
Residents are urged to stay alert for flooding statements and avoid driving through water covered roads. For current watches and warnings, residents can check the latest advisories from the National Weather Service Honolulu office.
