DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Olivia was
located near latitude 21.7 North, longitude 145.1 West. Olivia is
moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue for the next 24 hours or so with some slowing
in forward speed. A west-southwest motion is expected to begin
Monday night or Tuesday. On the forecast track, Olivia will be
approaching the main Hawaiian Islands later Tuesday and Tuesday
night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next 36
hours, with gradual weakening expected afterward.
 
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 988 mb (29.18 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

main Hawaiian Islands starting Monday. Surf will continue to build

facing shores Tuesday or Wednesday.
