DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Flossie
was located near latitude 19.7 North, longitude 152.7 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 15 mph (24
km/h). A turn toward the northwest with a slight decrease in forward
speed is expected during the next couple of days. On the forecast
track, the system will move near the main Hawaiian Islands later
today through Tuesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is forecast during the next couple of
days. Flossie is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low
later today, and dissipate late Tuesday or Tuesday night. 
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1009 mb (29.80 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Flossie will continue to affect portions
of the main Hawaiian Islands during the next day or two, producing
dangerous surf conditions along east facing shores.
 
RAINFALL: Moisture associated with Flossie will spread over
portions of the main Hawaiian Islands during the next couple of
days, bringing the potential for heavy rainfall. Total rainfall
amounts of 1 to 4 inches are expected, with localized higher
amounts possible.
 
Please consult products from the National Weather Service in
Honolulu for more information.
