  "summary": "Residents of Hawaii are being told to expect tropical storm conditions as Hurricane Lowell passes to the west of the islands. The National Hurricane Center issued a tropical storm warning for Kauai and Niihau, with Lowell forecast to pass the islands late Monday and Tuesday while traveling north.\n\nThe storm, a Category 3 hurricane, has maximum sustained winds of 125 mph and is located about 575 miles south-southwest of Lihue, or about 595 miles south-southwest of Honolulu, according to the Associated Press. It is moving north-northwest at 5 mph.\n\nHeavy rainfall is expected, with totals of 6-10 inches possible in Kauai and Niihau, and 4-8 inches on Hawaii's Big Island. The rainfall could produce significant flash flooding and mudslides. A state of emergency has been declared in Hawaii, with Lowell being the third system in just over three weeks to threaten the state during an active hurricane season.",
