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 tomorrow. A rapid increase in 
surf is expected along east facing shorelines exposed to these 
swells Tuesday and Wednesday. This elevated surf will likely cause 
life-threatening conditions along exposed shorelines. Please 
consult products from your local weather office.
