Hurricane Lane could threaten the Hawaiian Islands later this week, but meteorologists say it is still too early to tell what impact the storm will have.

The weather system started as a tropical storm last week far out in the East Pacific and has since strengthened into a category 3 hurricane. The hurricane is now traveling west and is expected to weaken as it approaches Hawaii, but meteorologists warn that it could still bring heavy rain, high surf and dangerous winds to the islands in the coming days.
