Hurricane Ignacio was located 239 nm NE of Hilo near 22.7N 152.3W
at 06 UTC and was packing sustained winds of 75 knots with gusts
to 90 knots. Maximum significant wave height was 30 feet. Ignacio
is forecast to continue on a track well north of the islands over
the next few days, but please consult the Central Pacific
Hurricane Center (CPHC) for the most recent weather information.

Powerful Hurricane Jimena was located 957 nm NE of Hilo near 16.3N
138.7W at 06 UTC and was packing sustained winds of 115 knots with
gusts to 140 knots. Maximum significant wave height was 42 feet.
Jimena is forecast to track to the NE of the islands by later this
week, but please consult the National Hurricane Center and then
the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) for updated weather
information.

In this scenario...a favored composite of models and ensembles
would suggest a potentially wet pattern this week underneath
Ignacio for the Hawaiian islands with the chance for moisture
pooled locally heavier downpours under troughing aloft.
