A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Hurricane Watch may be required for additional portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument later today. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Nolo was located near latitude 17.1 North, longitude 162.3 West. Nolo is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h). A turn toward the northwest is forecast later today, with a turn toward the north expected on Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Nolo will remain well southwest of the main Hawaiian Islands but will approach the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument on Tuesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 155 mph (250 km/h) with higher gusts. Nolo is a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. A gradual weakening trend is likely to begin tonight, followed by faster weakening through the middle of the week. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 929 mb (27.44 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected in the Hurricane Warning area in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument by Wednesday, with Tropical Storm conditions likely by Tuesday. SURF: Swells generated by Nolo will affect south-facing shores of the main Hawaiian Islands for the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Large surf associated with Nolo will affect the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument beginning later today. These large waves will likely inundate some of the low-lying atolls, especially from French Frigate Shoals to Nihoa. Please consult products from your local weather office.
