DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Erick was located
near latitude 13.6 North, longitude 144.1 West. Erick is moving
toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h). A slight turn to the
west-northwest, with some slowing in forward speed, is expected
later today. A general motion toward the west-northwest is then
expected to continue through Thursday. 

Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher
gusts, making Erick a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Little change in strength is expected over
the next day or so, with steady and significant weakening expected
thereafter.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles
(165 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 952 mb (28.12 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Erick will arrive in the Hawaiian Islands
over the next couple of days, potentially producing dangerous surf
conditions, mainly along east facing shores. Please consult products
from the National Weather Service in Honolulu for more
information.
