At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lane was
located near latitude 19.8 North, longitude 158.4 West. Lane is
moving toward the north near 3 mph (6 km/h), and this motion is
expected to continue this morning. This will likely be followed by
a turn toward the west with an increase in forward speed starting
later today or tonight. This westward motion is forecast to continue
through Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Lane will pass
south of Kauai and Niihau later today and tonight.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours. 
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles (205 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are still expected in and near
outer rain bands that will affect Oahu and Maui County today.
Tropical storm conditions are possible on Kauai starting later
today.
 
RAINFALL: Lane's outer rain bands will produce excessive rainfall
this weekend, which could lead to additional flash flooding and
landslides. Lane is expected to produce additional rain
accumulations of 5 to 10 inches in some areas. Localized storm total
amounts well in excess of 40 inches have already been observed along
the windward side of the Big Island.
 
SURF: Large swells generated by Lane will impact the Hawaiian
Islands. These swells will produce high surf along exposed south and
east shorelines today.
