Nolo is moving\ntoward the north near 3 mph (6 km/h), and this general motion with\na decrease in forward speed is expected through tonight. A turn\ntowards the west with an increase in forward speed is forecast\nSaturday and Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Nolo will\nremain well south of the main Hawaiian Islands.\n \nMaximum sustained winds are near 105 mph (165 km/h) with higher\ngusts.  Nolo is forecast to strengthen into a major hurricane this\nweekend, and could further intensify early next week.\n \nHurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the\ncenter and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles\n(220 km).\n \nThe estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 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: Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin by tonight in\nthe warning area, with hurricane conditions possible by early\nSaturday, particularly in areas of steep terrain.\n \nTropical storm conditions are possible in the tropical storm watch\narea beginning on Saturday.\n\nRegardless of the exact track of Nolo, strong and gusty winds are \npossible for all of the Hawaiian Islands through the weekend. \n \nRAINFALL: For the eastern and southern portions of the Big Island,\nNolo will produce rainfall totals of 8 to 12 inches with maximum\namounts of 16 inches. This rainfall could produce significant,\nlife-threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of\nsteep terrain.\n \nFor the western portions of the Big Island, rainfall totals of 1 to\n3 inches with maximum amounts of 6 inches are expected. For eastern\nMaui, rainfall totals of 4 to 6 inches with maximum amounts of 8\ninches are expected. Life-threatening flooding and mudslides are\npossible, especially in areas of high terrain.\n \nAcross the remainder of the Hawaiian Islands, maximum rainfall\ntotals of 1 to 2 inches are expected.\n \nFor a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with\nHurricane Nolo, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total\nRainfall Graphic available at\nhurricanes.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 and 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 inundation,\nplease see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic,\navailable at hurricanes.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 today, spreading westward\nand building through the weekend. These swells are likely to cause\nlife-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
