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 Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.

Additional watches and warnings may be required for additional
portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument later
this week.

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 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nolo was located
near latitude 21.3 North, longitude 164.2 West. Nolo is moving
toward the north near 8 mph (13 km/h). On the forecast track, the
center of Nolo will remain well southwest and west of the main
Hawaiian Islands. Nolo will continue to move northward across the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument today. On Wednesday, Nolo
will slow significantly and turn toward the west, then continue
generally westward through the latter part of the week.

Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts. Steady weakening is forecast over the next couple of days,
followed by some re-intensification during the latter part of this
week.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles
(220 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 971 mb (28.68 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 ongoing. Tropical storm conditions
are possible in the Tropical Storm Watch area in the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument by Thursday.

RAINFALL: Outer bands east of Nolos track will produce 3 to 6
inches of rain across Kauai and Niihau through Thursday. This
rainfall could produce areas of flooding and mudslides, especially
in areas of steep terrain.

For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Nolo,
please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic
available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_cp2.shtml?rainqpf

SURF: Swells generated by Nolo will affect south- and west-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 continue to affect
the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument over the next several
days. 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.
