A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected

hours before the anticipated first occurrence of
tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside
preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life
and property should be rushed to completion.
 
A Hurricane Watch may be required for additional portions of the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument later today.
 
For storm information specific to your area, including possible
inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your
local National Weather Service forecast office.
 
 
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM HST (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nolo was located 
near latitude 20.1 North, longitude 164.0 West. Nolo is moving 
toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h). On the forecast track, the 
center of Nolo will remain well southwest and west of the main 
Hawaiian Islands. Nolo will continue to move northward across the 
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument today. On Wednesday, Nolo 
will slowly turn toward the west, and continue generally westward 
through the latter part of the week.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher 
gusts. Nolo is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson 
Hurricane Wind Scale. Weakening is forecast over the next couple of 
days, followed by some re-intensification during the latter part of 
this week.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175
miles (280 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the Hurricane Warning
area in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument by Wednesday,
with tropical storm conditions likely starting later today.
 
RAINFALL: Outer bands east of Nolo’s track will produce 3 to 6 
inches of rain across Kauai and Niihau through Thursday. This 
rainfall could produce areas of flooding and mudslides, especially 
in areas of steep terrain.
 
SURF: Swells generated by Nolo will affect south- and west-facing 
shores of the main Hawaiian Islands for the next few days. These 
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current 
conditions. Large surf associated with Nolo will continue to affect 
the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument over the next several 
days. These large waves will likely inundate some of the low-lying 
atolls, especially from French Frigate Shoals to Nihoa. Please 
consult products from your local weather office.
