What is the current status of Hurricane Lala as it approaches Hawaii?
A category one hurricane. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. Lala is now a category one hurricane as it bears down on Hawaii's big island. Fox weather's Mike Sidel reports from Hilo in the Aloha State.
Up around 14,000 feet. I think I heard the temperature of one of those mountaintops was in the mid thirties. So it gives you an idea of how high they are. Even in August, they can be down there close to freezing. And we're down here at sea level, just above sea level where we're standing. So you've got a big change in temperature.
How do temperature changes from sea level to mountain peaks affect weather on the Big Island?
Remember the dry, what we call the dry adiabatic rate is about three and a half degrees per kilometer. So you know you go up and you and the temperatures will cool off. And they have cooled off. Down here we're in the mid-70s. Again, the lift, the extreme change in elevation over a short period. We've got very steep hillsides, so you get the orographic lift and you squeeze out that moisture. Meanwhile, the rainfall at Hilo Airport is just under three inches, so it shows you the difference between being on the coast and being up in the mountains.
