DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Lane was located by
U.S. Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunters near latitude
13.6 North, longitude 149.1 West. Lane is moving toward the west
near 12 mph (19 km/h). A gradual turn toward the northwest and
a slowing of forward motion are expected over the next few
days.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Lane is a powerful category 4 hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Little change in strength is
expected for the next day or so, with a weakening trend expected to
begin on Tuesday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles
(205 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 964 mb (28.47 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF:  Large swells generated by Lane will impact the Hawaiian
Islands this week. These swells will produce large and dangerous
surf, as well as strong currents, along some shorelines.

RAINFALL:  Heavy rainfall and possible flooding associated with 
Lane is likely to affect portions of the state later this week.
