Latest forecast on nor'easter, Hurricane Nolo with millions under threat this weekend

Millions of people on opposite ends of the United States are facing severe weather threats this weekend. Residents on Hawaii's Big Island are bracing for potentially life-threatening and catastrophic flooding from Hurricane Nolo. The storm is expected to bring heavy rainfall, with as much as 25 inches, and large and damaging waves along the coast, according to The Guardian US.

The state has activated more than 230 Hawaii national guard members and closed schools ahead of the storm. Nolo is expected to move west on Saturday and not directly hit the islands, but it will still cause hazardous conditions. Areas that have been flooded by big storms this summer are expected to be affected again.

Hurricane Nolo is expected to become a major hurricane this weekend, bringing torrential rain to Hawaii's Big Island, NPR reports. Meanwhile, Mexico was still under the threat of a storm, referred to as Hurricane Polo by CBC News and PBS NewsHour, as it headed toward the Baja Peninsula after bringing storm conditions to the southwestern coast.
