Tropical Storm Nolo Discussion Number 40
NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI EP152026
Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM HST Wed Sep 30 2026
Significant southwesterly wind shear continues to cause rapid
weakening of Nolo this morning. The center of circulation is
completely exposed with only minimal convection persisting to the
northeast of the center. Nolo has also drifted south of due
west over the past several hours, and the initial position has been
adjusted accordingly. Recent intensity estimates have fallen
substantially and range from 35-55 kt. The initial intensity is set
at a potentially generous 50 kt for this advisory.
Nolo is drifting toward the west-southwest, steered by a building
mid-level ridge to the northwest and a strong, positively-tilted
trough located to the northeast. Given Nolo's rapid weakening over
the past day or so, the cyclone is forecast to drift slowly toward
the west or west-southwest over the next day or so as it becomes
increasingly steered by the low-level flow. Beyond 48 h, as Nolo
re-intensifies and becomes vertically deeper, a generally westward
motion at a faster forward speed is expected as the ridge builds to
the north, and Nolo is expected to cross the International Date
Line by day 5. The latest NHC forecast has been shifted to the
left from the previous forecast to account for the adjustment in
the initial position, which is also closer to the latest HCCA
and Google DeepMind solutions.
Prohibitive southwesterly wind shear and a dry mid-level environment
have caused rapid weakening over the past day or so, and similar
conditions are expected through the next day. Beyond that time as
the strong trough moves away from Nolo, decreasing shear and
slightly more favorable upper-level winds should support gradual
strengthening through the rest of this week and into this weekend.
However, the continued dry mid-level environment could limit the
rate of intensification despite warm sea surface temperatures. The
latest NHC intensity forecast has been raised slightly beyond 60 h
and Nolo is expected to regain hurricane strength around this time.
The intensity forecast remains near the middle of the guidance
envelope.

What we know so far about alleged stabbing of pilot by co-pilot on flight to Israel

What we know so far about alleged stabbing of pilot by co-pilot on flight to IsraelPlane made emergency landing after pilot tried to crash aircraft, Israeli PM says, as officials investigate whether it was an attempted terror attack One of the pilots of a plane flying from the UAE to Israel stabbed his co-pilot and appeared to try to crash the plane, the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said, as Israeli officials said they were investigating whether the incident was an attempted terror attack on Israelis. Here is what we know so far: A commercial plane travelling from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates to Israel was forced to make an emergency landing in Saudi Arabia, after an apparent brawl between its pilots prompted distress signals that briefly raised fears of an attempted hijacking. The FlyDubai flight was over Jordan when it diverted to Saudi Arabia, transmitting three emergency signals, one of which indicated a possible unlawful interference. The plane dipped dramatically during the reported fight, descending about 16,000ft in just two minutes. Israeli officials scrambled fighter jets, fearful of a possible hijacking attempt on a plane containing dozens of Israelis, and the plane landed at Tabuk airport in north-western Saudi Arabia. Netanyahu said one of the FlyDubai pilots stabbed his co-pilot and appeared to be intending to crash the plane. He added that one of the passengers on the flight managed to break into the cockpit with one of the crew members, and together they “neutralised” the attacking pilot. Netanyahu described it as “an extremely severe security incident”. Other officials, including the defence minister, Israel Katz, have called it an attempted terrorist attack. Netanyahu thanked the passengers and crew who helped to stop the attack, saying they “showed exceptional resourcefulness and courage”. An Israeli official has identified the attacker as an Omani national, Reuters reported. The Boeing 737 plane, which Israeli officials said had between 160 and 180 passengers onboard, transmitted a general emergency signal about two and a half hours after departing from Dubai, according to the flight-tracking website Flightradar24. A passenger on the flight, Miryam Shira Ohayon, said the plane was “pretty much out of control” when the alleged stabbing took place. “The co-pilot tried to murder the pilot and basically carry out a suicide attack on the plane,” she told reporters, using a speakerphone held up by her mother who was waiting at Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv. The plane transmitted the initial general emergency signal again before landing at Saudi Arabia’s Tabuk airport. Tabuk airport said the plane landed at 9.45am local time and that both pilots were taken to hospital after sustaining injuries. A second FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv landed safely at its destination. Flightradar24 initially showed flight FZ1081 diverting back towards the UAE but it was later shown to be on its way to Israel, where it landed in Tel Aviv this afternoon.
