Fact-check: “Another hurricane may hit Hawaii this weekend”
Verdict: Mostly True (72% confidence)
As of September 23, 2026, official NWS and NHC forecasts showed Tropical Depression Fifteen-E (potential Tropical Storm/Hurricane Nolo) tracking toward Hawaii, with point forecasts explicitly stating 'Hurricane conditions possible' for Saturday and Sunday on parts of the Big Island and Maui. The word 'may' accurately reflects the probabilistic nature — forecasters noted wide track uncertainty and most ensemble models showed a direct landfall as less likely than a near-miss.
