DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Flossie
was located near latitude 20.2 North, longitude 153.6 West. The
depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19
km/h). This motion will continue today, followed by a turn toward
the northwest through dissipation late Tuesday night or Wednesday.
On the forecast track, the system will move near the main Hawaiian
Islands today and Tuesday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Although little change in strength is expected in the next 36
hours, Flossie is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low
later today or tonight and dissipate by Wednesday.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1009 mb (29.80 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Flossie will continue to affect the main
Hawaiian Islands into Tuesday morning, producing hazardous 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.
