Weakening is forecast during the next couple days, with Darby 
expected to weaken into a post-tropical remnant low late Saturday or 
Saturday night before dissipating on Sunday.

from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND

SURF: Large swells generated by Darby are expected to affect
portions of the Hawaiian Islands over the weekend. These swells are
likely to produce hazardous surf and dangerous rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local National
Weather Service office in Honolulu, Hawaii for further details.
 
RAINFALL: Darby is expected to produce localized storm total
rainfall of 2 to 4 inches along portions of mainly windward Big
Island and windward Maui. These rains may cause minor flooding
