Parts of the US and Caribbean are in for a triple threat of extreme weather this weekend.

A hurricane and tropical storm were churning toward Hawaii and Texas, respectively, Friday as a cyclone also was set to strike the Caribbean.

Tropical Storm Douglas is expected to wallop the southern coast of Texas on Saturday afternoon with 4 to 8 inches of rain and up to a foot in some isolated areas, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The storm was roughly 260 miles east of Corpus Christi, swirling northwest with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, by Friday afternoon, the agency said in a public advisory.

This rain may result in life-threatening flash flooding, rapid rises on small streams and isolated minor to moderate river flooding, it warned.

Meanwhile, Hawaii was bracing for Hurricane Douglas, which was roughly 900 miles from the city of Hilo with maximum sustained winds of up to 120 mph on Friday, according to AccuWeather.

The hurricane is expected to hit the Aloha State on Sunday, bringing powerful winds and prompting Hawaii Gov. David Ige to declare a state of emergency.
