...Hurricane Lane threatens Hawaii with track just south of the
islands mid-late week...

High surf and small craft advisories have been issued along with a
hydrologic outlook in anticipation of the approach of Hurricane
Lane on a track just to the south of the state. Major Hurricane
Lane is now category 4 status over the tropical Pacific near 13.8N
147W at 09 UTC and is packing maximum sustained winds of 110 knots
with gusts to 135 knots. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center
tracks Lane just to the south of the state middle through late
week. Deep tropical moisture will rotate into the state with
approach. This should fuel increasingly numerous showers as
winds/pressure gradients increase between high pressure to the
north and Lane. The threat exists for excessive rainfall
contingent on the uncertain track of Lane. Please consult latest
forecasts from the CPHC for updated info.
