"Meteorologists warn that the remnants of Hurricane Lorena will bring flash floods, severe thunderstorms, and possible power outages to the Southwest by Saturday. Parts of Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah are predicted to see heavy downpours all weekend and into Monday as the tropical storm moves into the US. Lorena officially strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane early Wednesday morning before slamming into Mexico's Baja Peninsula."
"Meanwhile, all of Hawaii could be bracing for a historic weather event as Hurricane Kiko continues to rampage through the Pacific Ocean. The Category 4 hurricane could reach devastating Category 5 strength by the weekend, and the storm is projected to make landfall on Hawaii's Big Island on Tuesday. If Kiko does not weaken in the coming days, it would become the first major hurricane to directly strike Hawaii since Hurricane Iniki in September 1992."
Two Pacific hurricanes threaten U.S. regions this weekend and next week. The remnants of Hurricane Lorena are expected to bring flash floods, severe thunderstorms, and possible power outages to the Southwest by Saturday. Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah are forecast to see heavy downpours through Monday as the storm moves inland. Lorena had strengthened to Category 1 before hitting Mexico's Baja Peninsula and has since weakened to a tropical storm; impacts will depend heavily on its track. Hurricane Kiko is a Category 4 storm capable of reaching Category 5 and is projected to make landfall on Hawaii's Big Island on Tuesday, threatening mudslides, torrential downpours, and flooding.
