WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area
starting Tuesday night.
 
RAINFALL: From Tuesday night into Thursday, storm total rainfall
amounts of 4-8 inches, with maximum amounts of 10 inches are
possible, mainly along the windward areas of the Big Island of
Hawaii. Storm total rainfall amounts of 1-4 inches are expected
elsewhere in the state. This rainfall could lead to localized flash
flooding and mudslides.
 
SURF: Swells generated by Calvin are expected to begin spreading
across the main Hawaiian Islands late Tuesday. A rapid increase in
surf is expected along east facing shorelines exposed to these
swells from Tuesday night into Wednesday. This elevated surf 
will likely cause life-threatening conditions along exposed 
shorelines. Please consult products from your local weather 
office for details.
