DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Olivia was
located near latitude 21.9 North, longitude 151.1 West. Olivia is
moving toward the west near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn to the
west-southwest is expected later today, with a slight increase in
forward speed. This general motion will then continue for the
next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Olivia
will be moving over portions of the main Hawaiian Islands late
tonight into Wednesday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, but
Olivia is expected to remain a tropical storm as it moves over the
islands.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected over Maui County and
the Big Island starting this evening. Tropical storm conditions are
expected over Oahu starting Wednesday morning. Tropical storm
conditions are possible over Kauai County starting Wednesday
afternoon or evening.
 
RAINFALL: Olivia is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations
of 10 to 15 inches, with isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches
possible, especially in higher terrain. This rainfall may produce
life-threatening flash flooding.
 
SURF: Large swells generated by Olivia will impact the main Hawaiian
Islands over the next couple of days. This will result in
dangerously high and potentially damaging surf, mainly along
exposed east facing shores.
