DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Lane was
located near latitude 18.8 North, longitude 163.7 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-southwest near 9 mph (15 km/h)
and this motion is expected to continue into Monday. A brief slowing
in forward motion is expected Monday night as Lane makes a turn
toward the northwest. Lane is then expected to accelerate
northwestward by Tuesday as it transitions to an extratropical low.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours, and
Lane is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low tonight or
Monday. In a couple of days, Lane may develop into a gale force
extratropical low as it passes over portions of the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).
