WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning
area starting this evening. Persons in Hawaii County should
complete preparations for tropical storm force wind impacts
during daylight hours prior to the onset of tropical storm
conditions tonight.
 
RAINFALL: From later today 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 3-6 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 later today and 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.
