A tropical depression is on track to become a hurricane and could hit Hawaiis Big Island later this week.
The storm is headed toward Hawaii Islands Puna region, which was hit hard by Tropical Storm Iselle in August, according to Meteorologist Tom Evans of the National Weather Service in Honolulu. "This is the last thing they need," he said. Tropical Depression Two-C was about 920 miles east-southeast of Hilo, travelling 10 miles per hour Monday morning. It is expected to strengthen and become a hurricane Wednesday and then arrive in Hawaii Saturday morning.
