  7. #Lowell #TropicalOutlook #SevereWeather #HIwx

    From NWS Honolulu on FB: A Tropical Storm Watch is now in effect for Kauai County and any preparations for damaging winds should be complete by midday Monday. Large swells from Lowell are expected to produce coastal flooding of low lying areas late Monday into Monday night across south and west facing shores. 1 to 3 feet of storm surge will be possible over Kauai. Heavy rain bands associated with Lowell will begin to impact the state late Sunday and a Flood Watch has been issued for the entire state. The heaviest rainfall is expected to be on Kauai and southeast slopes of the Big Island.
    FYI @ai6yr @uccawx

  8. HURRICANE LOWELL KEY MESSAGES:

    1. Lowell is forecast to pass west of Kauai County late Monday into
    early Tuesday. A Tropical Storm Watch has been issued for Kauai County, including Kauai and Niihau, where tropical storm conditions are possible beginning Monday. A Hurricane Watch has been issued for portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to French Frigate Shoals.

    2. Heavy rainfall associated with Hurricane Lowell will begin to impact the Hawaiian Islands Sunday afternoon and continue through early next week. Periods of heavy rain may produce significant flash flooding and mudslides, especially on Kauai and portions of the Big Island.

    3. Large swells from Lowell are expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip current conditions across portions of the Hawaiian Islands during the next several days. Surf along exposed portions of Kauai County could also produce coastal flooding and inundation of low-lying areas late Monday into Monday night.

    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Lala was located near latitude 16.2 North, longitude 147.5 West. Lala is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). A faster
    west-northwestward motion is expected during the next several days. On the forecast track, Lala is forecast to be near the Big Island on Saturday, and pass south of the remainder of the islands later in
    the weekend.

    Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 60 mph (95 km/h) with higher gusts. Steady strengthening is forecast, and Lala is expected to become a hurricane as it approaches the Big Island.

    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km) from the center.

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 997 mb (29.44 inches) based on NOAA and Air Force Hurricane Hunter data.

    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.
