Nolo is forecast to become a hurricane by \ntonight and a major hurricane by this weekend.\n\nTropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles (150 km) \nfrom the center.\n \nThe estimated minimum central pressure is 995 mb (29.39 inches).\n \n \nHAZARDS AFFECTING LAND\n----------------------\nKey messages for Nolo can be found in the Tropical Cyclone \nDiscussion under AWIPS header HFOTCDCP2 and WMO header WTPA42 PHFO.\n \nWIND: Hurricane conditions are possible in the watch area starting\nas early as Friday night.\n \nRAINFALL: For the Big Island, Nolo will produce rainfall totals of\n15 to 20 inches with maximum amounts of 35 inches.  This\nrainfall could produce catastrophic life-threatening flooding and\nmudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain.\n \nFor Maui, rainfall totals of 5 to 10 inches with maximum amounts of\n20 inches are expected. Life-threatening flooding and mudslides\nare possible, especially in areas of high terrain.\n \nAcross the remainder of the Hawaiian Islands, rainfall totals of 1\nto 3 inches with maximum amounts of 6 inches are expected with\nisolated flooding possible.\n \nFor a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Nolo,\nplease see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic\navailable at hurricanes.gov/graphics_cp2.shtml?rainqpf\n \nSTORM SURGE: The combination of a dangerous storm surge and the tide\nwill cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising\nwaters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the\nfollowing heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if\nthe peak surge occurs at the time of high tide...\n \nHawaii County...1 to 3 ft\n \nThe deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to\nthe right of the landfall location, where the surge will be\naccompanied by large and dangerous waves. Surge-related flooding\ndepends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle,\nand can vary greatly over short distances. For information\nspecific to your area, please see products issued by your local\nNational Weather Service forecast office.\n \nFor a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge\ninundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak\nStorm Surge Graphic, available at\nhurricanes.gov/graphics_cp2.shtml?peakSurge.\n \nSURF: Swells generated by Nolo are expected to reach exposed east\nand south-facing shores of the Big Island by Friday, spreading\nwestward and building through the weekend. These swells are likely\nto cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
