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

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
Key messages for Tropical Storm Lala can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header HFOTCPCP2 and WMO header
WTPA42 PHFO.
WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected on the Big Island of Hawaii by early Saturday, with tropical storm conditions possible in Maui County by late Saturday. Wind speeds atop and on the windward
sides of slopes and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds indicated in this advisory, and in some elevated locations could be even greater.
RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Lala is expected to produce rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches across Maui and the Big Island with maximum totals of 25 inches possible across the Big Island. Rainfall totals of 4
to 6 inches with maximum amounts of 8 inches across the remainder of the island chain. This rainfall may produce life-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain.
For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Lala, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_cp2.shtml?rainqpf
STORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could
reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...
Hawaii...1 to 3 ft
The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast, where the surge will be accompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For information specific to your area, please see products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office.
For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at
hurricanes.gov/graphics_cp2.shtml?peakSurge.
SURF: Swells generated by Lala are expected to reach the east-facing shores of the state on Friday, spreading westward and building through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
NEXT ADVISORY
Next complete advisory at 1100 PM HST.
