22 Aug 2018 / Hawaii, United States
At 200am HST (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lane was located near latitude 14.9 N, longitude 155.0 W. Lane is moving toward the west-northwest near 9mph (15km/h).
This motion is expected to continue tonight. A turn toward the northwest is expected later today, followed by a turn to the north-northwest on Thursday.
On the forecast track, the center of Lane will move very close to or over the main Hawaiian Islands from Thursday through Saturday. Maximum sustained winds are near 160mph (260 km/h) with higher gusts.
Lane is a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Slow weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, but Lane is forecast to remain a dangerous hurricane as it draws closer to the Hawaiian Islands.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 40 miles (65km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220km)...
...Tropical storm conditions are expected within the Hurricane Warning area beginning late tonight into early Thursday morning, with hurricane conditions expected somewhere within the warning area on Thursday. Tropical storm conditions are possible within the Hurricane Watch area beginning Thursday into Thursday night, with hurricane conditions possible late Thursday night into Friday.
Excessive rainfall associated with Lane is expected to affect portions of the Hawaiian Islands from late today into the weekend, leading to flash flooding and landslides. Lane is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10-15 inches with isolated amounts greater than 20 inches over the Hawaiian Islands.
Large swells generated by Lane will impact the Hawaiian Islands, beginning this morning on the Big Island, spreading across the remainder of the island chain on today. These swells will produce large and potentially damaging surf along exposed west, south and east facing shorelines.
