As Nolo continues to move away from the island, we're keeping an eye on another system that could be headed our way.

And crowds gave a warm welcome to the U.S. service members aboard the USS Frank E. Petersen Jr., as their ship pulled back into its home port of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam following 10 months of operations.
