DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM HST (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Walaka was
located near latitude 34.2 North, longitude 165.1 West. Walaka is
moving toward the northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h). This
northeastward motion is expected to continue during the next couple
of days, but Walaka is forecast to accelerate its forward speed 
this weekend.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts.
Walaka is gradually losing tropical characteristics, and it is
forecast to become a post-tropical / extratropical low by early
Saturday. This low will likely have gale force winds through early
Sunday before it dissipates over the far northeast Pacific later
this weekend.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 996 mb (29.42 inches).
