The initial threat approaching the Hawai`ian island chain will be
what is currently Hurricane Norman. The good news is that the
latest forecast track keeps the storm well to the north of the
Islands as it gradually weakens by the end of the week. There
should be a brief period of enhanced northerly winds along the
north-facing coastlines on Friday and into Saturday morning as
Norman tracks to the northwest.

The second thing of interest will be the eventual track of
Hurricane Olivia as it generally exhibits a west-northwestward
movement the next week.  While in a more diminished state, models
seem to show what remains of Olivia reaching the vicinity of the
Big Island by either next Tuesday or Wednesday.  Depending on the
state of Olivia, some enhancement in the northerly winds are
likely in advance of the system.  Regarding rainfall chances, it
should remain intermittently dry the next several days with the
best threat occurring next week in response to Olivia's approach.
