Hurricane Lala has weakened to a tropical storm after skirting Hawaii without making landfall. Despite the downgrade, the system continues to punish the Big Island with hurricane-force gusts. Tropical storm conditions spread westward on Sunday, moving from Maui to Oahu and then toward Kauai. The storm is currently sending drenching rain and strong winds across the Hawaiian islands, maintaining significant impact on the region despite not making a direct landfall during its passage through the area.
