DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lala was located
near latitude 27.6 North, longitude 170.8 West. Lala is moving
toward the north-northeast near 13 mph (20 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue through this morning.  A turn toward the
north with a slightly faster forward speed is expected later today,
followed by a northwestward motion beginning tonight and continuing
through early next week.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some fluctuations in intensity are possible over the next 
day or so, followed by gradual weakening through next week. Lala is 
forecast to remain a hurricane through Sunday morning.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles
(240 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 970 mb (28.65 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Large surf associated with Lala will affect the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument for the next couple of
days. These large waves will likely inundate some of the low-lying
atolls, especially from French Frigate Shoals to Maro Reef.
