ISSUED BY THE CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER IN HONOLULU AT 11 PM
HST. THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO NORTH AND WEST
FACING SHORES OF MOLOKAI AND NORTH FACING SHORES OF MAUI. THE
TROPICAL STORM WATCH HAS BEEN DROPPED FOR THE KAIWI CHANNEL AND THE
OAHU WINDWARD WATERS. AS A RESULT...A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS NOW IN
EFFECT FOR THESE WATERS. THE REST OF THE DISCUSSION FROM THE 930 PM
HST ISSUANCE REMAINS THE SAME.

&&

.SYNOPSIS...
HURRICANE ANA IS BRINGING RAIN...SOMETIMES HEAVY...STRONG WINDS AND
POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH SUNDAY. STAY WELL INFORMED WITH
THE LATEST FORECASTS AND BULLETINS FROM THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
HURRICANE CENTER AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN HONOLULU. A
MORE STABLE AND DRIER TREND WILL BEGIN ESTABLISHING IN THE WAKE OF

&&

.DISCUSSION...
HURRICANE ANA CONTINUES TO SLOWLY PUSH NW AND BRINGING WIDESPREAD
CLOUDS AND SHOWERS ACROSS THE W HALF OF THE ISLAND CHAIN. AT 11 PM
HST THE CENTER OF ANA WAS LOCATED AT 20.3N 159.5W...ABOUT 125 MILES
WSW OF HONOLULU. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS OF ANA ARE 80 MPH...AND IS
SLOWLY MOVING NW AT ABOUT 6 MPH.

WITH THE CURRENT FORECAST TRACK...A LARGE SWATH OF SHOWERS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER RAINBANDS OF ANA IS REACHING
OAHU AND MOST OF MAUI COUNTY WITH OVERCAST CONDITIONS...PERIODS OF
MODERATE RAIN AND POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED HEAVY RAIN. EXPECT THIS
SCENARIO TO CONTINUE TONIGHT AS THE SLOW FORWARD MOTION OF ANA WILL
ALLOW FOR OAHU TO REMAIN INSIDE THIS RAINBAND THROUGH THE REST OF
THE EVENING. THEN THESE CONDITIONS WILL BEGIN SPREADING INTO KAUAI
COUNTY DURING THE EARLY SUN MORNING HOURS. SOME OF THE STRONGER
WINDS ALONG THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF ANA WILL LIKELY BRUSH AGAINST
NIIHAU AND MAYBE EVEN W KAUAI ON SUN. THEREFORE...A TROPICAL STORM
WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR KAUAI COUNTY. ALSO...A TROPICAL STORM WATCH
REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR OAHU.

PEOPLE IN HAWAII SHOULD REMAIN WELL INFORMED WITH THE LATEST
BULLETINS AND FORECASTS WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AT

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE BIG ISLAND UNTIL 6 AM
SUN AND FOR THE SMALLER ISLANDS UNTIL 6 PM HST SUN. EXPECT PERIODS
OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS AS THE LARGE
RAINBANDS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CIRCULATION OF ANA REACH THE ISLAND
CHAIN FROM THE S.

PRESSURE GRADIENTS BETWEEN A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM LOCATED FAR NNE OF
THE ALOHA STATE AND HURRICANE ANA REMAIN TIGHT...ALLOWING FOR
LOCALLY STRONGER WINDS OVER KAUAI AND OAHU. A WIND ADVISORY IS IN
EFFECT FOR THE BIG ISLAND SUMMITS TONIGHT...THEN WINDS SHOULD BEGIN
SUBSIDING SUN.

FOR EARLY NEXT WEEK...AS ANA MOVES W AND NW OF THE AREA...WINDS WILL
GRADUALLY SHIFT TO THE SE WITH A GENERAL DRYING TREND AND
INCREASINGLY STABLE CONDITIONS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...
