Winds reach 60 mph while Hawaii County remains under a hurricane watch

Tropical Storm Nolo’s sustained winds increased to 60 mph while it remained nearly stationary about 285 miles south of South Point, Hawaii. A hurricane watch remained in effect for Hawaii County, where hurricane conditions were possible beginning Friday night. Heavy rain could reach the Big Island later Thursday. Forecasters expected Nolo to begin moving north or north-northeast, but its eventual track near the island—and therefore the location and severity of its effects—remained uncertain.
