TLDR on Hurricane Lowell and Hawaii seems to be:
Wait and See
NWS Honolulu: "
Attention will shift late Sunday into early next week to the forecast track of Hurricane Lowell, currently a category 4 hurricane and around 600 miles southeast of Lihue. The National
Hurricane Center track forecast moves Lowell slowly westward through Friday night with an abrupt northward turn and increase in forward speed on Saturday. While confidence is low whether a direct impact will occur or not, Lowell will likely bring some impacts to the state including storm surge, high surf, wind, and rainfall impacts to portions of Hawaii, particularly as it moves closest to Kauai County Monday and Monday night. The extent of these impacts could range from minor to major depending on the eventual path of the storm, and more specifically when the abrupt turn to the north occurs. Regardless, Lowell is forecast to be a category 3 hurricane at its closest proximity. Coastal inundation
could also be exacerbated by the peak monthly high tides that are expected to occur Monday. Interests in Hawaii should continue to closely monitor the progress of Lowell through the upcoming Labor Day weekend, listen to the advice of officials, and ensure they have their hurricane plan and supply kit in place." -

Lowell is most certainly going to affect Kauai, time to batten down the hatches, IMHO. (actually, with that intense of a hurricane, maybe go visit relatives in Oahu) #Lowell #HurricaneLowell #Kauai #hurricanes #TropicalWx #HIwx

DO NOT USE THIS AS A FORECAST
(GFS has Lowell direct hit of the center over NI'ihau and a pretty bad wind profile over Kauai) by Tuesday. Forecasts can change and will, there's a steering low that is moving around and could send it any direction depending on which way the butterfly flaps its wings... anyway, I personally would plan for the worst, and hope for the best -- ie hurricane supplies... plan to hunker down in someplace safe in about 5-6 days. If it veers off the west, call yourself extremely lucky.

This is looking not great for Kauai and Ni'ihau with this current track. Right side of the hurricane in general vs. the south side of many islands, depending on how big the storm is. #HurricaneLowell #HIwx #hurricane #Kauai

NHC Honolulu: "The National Hurricane Center (NHC) latest forecast on Lowell has the system continuing a westward track far south of the islands over the next couple of days, before turning northward late this weekend and early next week as major hurricane. While confidence is not high there is a possibility that a major hurricane can impact the state next week. We continue to closely monitor this
system and update forecast as necessary. Now is the time to make a plan for worst case scenario in order to be able to take action if and when needed. " -

Uh oh. The 5-day forecast cone for #HurricaneLowell makes a right turn toward the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands next week. Keep watching... At 4-5 days out, updated computer runs are more likely to change the forecast. So for now it should just serve to catch attention. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_cp4+shtml/022032.shtml?key_messages#contents #Hawaii #weather #HIwx
