DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lane was located near latitude 19.1 North, longitude 157.9 West. Lane is moving toward the north near 5 mph (7 km/h) and this general motion is expected to continue through tonight. A turn toward the west is anticipated on Saturday, with an increase in forward speed. The center of Lane will remain dangerously close to portions of the central Hawaiian islands later today and tonight. Maximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 966 mb (28.53 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Tropical storm conditions are already occurring on the Big Island, Maui County and Oahu. Hurricane conditions are expected over portions of of Maui County and Oahu starting tonight. Tropical storm conditions are possible on Kauai starting Saturday. RAINFALL: Rain bands from Lane will continue to affect the main Hawaiian Islands with excessive rainfall possible into the weekend. These rains could lead to additional major flash flooding and landslides. Lane is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 20 inches in some areas. Localized storm total amounts up to 40 inches are possible, mainly on the windward side of the Big Island where over 30 inches of rain has already fallen in some areas. SURF: Very large swells generated by the slow moving hurricane will severely impact the Hawaiian Islands into this weekend. These swells will produce life-threatening and damaging surf along exposed shorelines, particularly today through Saturday. In addition, a prolonged period of extreme surf will also likely lead to significant coastal erosion. STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and large breaking waves will raise water levels by as much as 2 to 4 feet above normal tide levels along south and west facing shores near the center of Lane. The surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 PM HST. Next complete advisory at 500 PM HST. $$ Forecaster R Ballard NNNN
