DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM HST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nolo was located
near latitude 23.3 North, longitude 169.6 West. Nolo is moving
toward the west near 10 mph (17 km/h). A mainly westward motion with 
an increase in forward speed is expected during the next few days. 
On the forecast track, the center of Nolo will continue to move 
through the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument but remain 
just south of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands west of French 
Frigate Shoals.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 110 mph (175 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Rapid intensification could continue into the 
weekend, with Nolo forecast to become a major hurricane within the 
next 12 h. 
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles
(185 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 964 mb (28.47 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue within the Tropical 
Storm Warning area from French Frigate Shoals to Maro Reef through 
early Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin 
farther west from Maro Reef to Lisianski Island by late Saturday.
 
SURF: Large waves associated with Nolo will continue to affect the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument over the next several
days. The surf will likely inundate some of the low-lying atolls
from French Frigate Shoals to Lisianski Island. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
