The Big Island of Hawaii is bracing for potentially severe weather as Tropical Depression Two-C approaches, bringing the threat of significant rainfall, flooding, and power outages. As of Thursday, this weather system was exhibiting maximum sustained winds of 35 mph and is projected to intensify into a tropical storm. The storm's trajectory may take it 75–100 miles south of the Big Island, with rainfall amounts ranging from several inches to a foot or more, including a Local StormMax estimate of 24 inches from AccuWeather. Rainfall could commence on Sunday and extend westward, heightening the potential for flooding and mudslides due to already saturated ground conditions.
