Nolo strengthens to a hurricane again in the Pacific Ocean

On October 2, Tropical Storm Nolo rapidly intensified to a Category 3 hurricane in the remote Pacific Ocean, with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph). By October 4, as it crossed the International Date Line, Nolo transitioned into Typhoon Nolo, maintaining its strength at 115 mph but now classified under different naming conventions used in the Northwest Pacific. The storm was situated about 395 miles west-southwest of Lisianski Island and moving westward at 17 mph (28 kph). A tropical storm warning covered the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Maro Reef to Lisianski Island, where large surf was expected to inundate low-lying atolls. Despite its intensity, Nolo posed no immediate threat to populated islands as it remained far from major landmasses.
