WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area starting this evening. Preparations for tropical storm
force wind impacts should already be completed for persons
in Hawaii County.
 
RAINFALL: Storm total rainfall amounts through Thursday are
forecasted to be 4-8 inches, with maximum amounts of 10 inches
possible, mainly along the windward slopes and southeast flank of 
the Big Island of Hawaii. Storm total rainfall amounts of 3-6 inches 
are expected on the windward areas of Maui, and 2-4 inches 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 tonight. This will lead to a rapid
increase in surf along east facing shores, with high surf continuing
into Wednesday. This elevated surf will likely cause
life-threatening conditions along exposed shorelines. Please consult
products from your local weather office for details.
