DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 AM HST (1800 UTC), Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters
located the center of Hurricane Olivia near latitude 21.8 North,
longitude 148.1 West. Olivia is moving toward the west near 8 mph
(13 km/h). A turn toward the west-southwest is expected starting
later today, and this motion is expected to continue through
Wednesday. On the forecast track, the center of Olivia will be
moving over the main Hawaiian Islands Tuesday night into Wednesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 km/h) with higher
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast today, with slight
weakening starting tonight and continuing through Tuesday. However,
Olivia is forecast to be a strong tropical storm when it reaches the
Hawaiian Islands.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115
miles (185 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the
warning area starting late Tuesday. Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area starting early Wednesday morning.
 
RAINFALL: Olivia is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations
of 10 to 15 inches. Isolated maximum amounts of 20 inches are
possible, especially over windward sections of Maui County and the
Big Island. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flash
flooding.
 
SURF: Large swells generated by Olivia will spread from east to
west across the Hawaiian Islands early this week. This will cause
surf to build along exposed east facing shorelines as Olivia
approaches. This surf may become damaging across parts of the state.
