Moke Nears Hawaii as Lala and Iselle Keep 2026 Hurricane Season Active

3 articles · Updated · The Weather Channel · Aug 24

Summary

  • Moke was the storm drawing the closest watch on Aug. 24, with trackers highlighting its current position near Hawaii alongside forecast cone, radar, wind and rainfall maps.
  • The broader monitoring picture also includes Lala and Iselle, with updated Pacific and Atlantic forecast tracks showing multiple active systems across both basins.
  • Pacific maps pair storm tracks with sea-surface temperatures, while Atlantic outlooks emphasize wind shear and dry Saharan air—two factors that can suppress tropical development.
  • Season-wide tracking also includes Atlantic and Pacific storm paths so far and Accumulated Cyclone Energy, a measure forecasters use to judge how active 2026 has been.
