CORRECTED HIGH SURF

.SYNOPSIS... POWERFUL FRONT BRINGING DAMAGING SOUTHWEST WINDS AND
PERIODS OF HEAVY RAINS TO THE ISLANDS. THE FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH
KAUAI THIS EVENING AND MOVE OVER OAHU EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING...AND
REACH MAUI BY DAYBREAK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
AS OF 8 PM...THE FRONT AND HEAVY RAINS ARE MOVING INTO KAUAI FROM
THE WEST AT 15 MPH. AHEAD OF THE FRONT...STRONG GUSTY SOUTHWEST
WINDS ARE BLOWING ACROSS THE ISLANDS PROMPTING A HIGH WIND WARNING
FOR THE ENTIRE STATE /NPWHFO/. SEE THE LATEST PUBLIC INFORMATION
STATEMENT /PNSHFO/ FOR THE LATEST IN WIND REPORTS AROUND THE

ADDITION OF HEAVY RAINS AND THUNDERSTORMS. BUT WITH THE FRONT

ANY ONE SPOT SHOULD NOT LAST MORE THAN AN HOUR OR TWO. THE FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO REACH KAUAI BY 9 PM TONIGHT...OAHU AFTER
MIDNIGHT...AND MAUI COUNTY WEDNESDAY MORNING.

AHEAD OF THE FRONT FROM OAHU TO THE BIG ISLAND...SHOWERS ARE
MOVING RAPIDLY TOWARD THE NNE WITH INDIVIDUAL CELLS ESTIMATED TO
BE MOVING AT 40 MPH. THESE CELLS CONTAIN HEAVY RAINS BUT THEIR
RAPID MOVEMENT WILL CURTAIL ANY WIDESPREAD FLOODING AHEAD OF THE

THE CENTER OF THE LOW IS LOCATED 370 MILES NNW OF KAUAI AND IS
MOVING 10 MPH TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST. THE MOVEMENT HAS SLOWED
CONSIDERABLY OVER THE PAST 12 WHEN THE SYSTEM WAS MOVING CLOSE TO

STOP ABOUT 300 MILES NORTH OF KAUAI BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. WINDS WILL
RELAX ACROSS THE ISLANDS AT THIS POINT...BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY
RAINS WILL CONTINUE. AS THE WINDS DIMINISH SO WILL STORM SPEEDS
AND THE CHANCE OF FLASH FLOODING WILL INCREASE. SEE THE FLASH

SHOWERS WILL PINWHEEL AROUND THE LOW AFFECTING PORTIONS OF THE
STATE AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
