No active Atlantic storms; forecasters watch two waves as Hawaii braces for Moke

The National Hurricane Center reported no active tropical cyclones in the Atlantic as of Aug. 23, 2026 [1], and issued a routine Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook the previous day [2]. By Aug. 24, forecasters were tracking two tropical waves in the Atlantic for possible development [4]. In the Pacific, Tropical Storm Moke was expected to bring additional heavy rain to Hawaii, with NOAA indicating more than a foot could fall on the Big Island as the state recovers from an earlier storm identified as Lala [3][5].
