Tropical Storm Moke is passing to the south of Hawaii's Big Island, close enough to dump a foot or more of rain on communities dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Lala. The National Hurricane Center located the center of Moke about 320 miles south-southwest of Hilo, Hawaii, on Sunday. The storm has top sustained winds of about 40 mph, though the real impact is expected from rainfall in places where last weekend's hurricane flooded communities, caused mudslides and washed out roads.  Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Iselle formed Sunday in eastern Pacific waters well away from Mexico’s southwest coastline, posing no threat to land.

The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Moke has formed in the Pacific Ocean. It is on track to bring another round of heavy rain and wind to Hawaii as residents are still recovering from Hurricane Lala. The hurricane center's advisory shows Moke was located about 425 miles southeast of Hilo as of Saturday morning. Maximum sustained winds were around 50 mph (85 kph). Like with Hurricane Lala, the Big Island is again expected to bear the brunt of the storm. It battered Hawaii last weekend without making landfall, downing trees and leaving roads covered in mud and rocks. Rain and heavy winds from Moke are expected to hit the Big Island late Saturday.
