Tropical Depression Kilo is still forecast to increase in strength, but the most recent track has the storm missing Kauai, Niihau, and Oahu. There is still a lot of uncertainty regarding this storm, so please pray for the people to make preparations until the storm has moved safely away or dissipated completely.
