SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Hurricane Warning is in effect for...
* The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to
French Frigate Shoals

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 by Tuesday.

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 PM HST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nolo was located
near latitude 20.0 North, longitude 164.3 West. Nolo is moving
toward the north-northwest near 15 mph (24 km/h). A turn toward the
north is expected tonight. 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 on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Nolo will slowly
turn toward the west, and continue generally westward through the
latter part of the week.

Maximum sustained winds are near 115 mph (185 km/h) with higher
gusts. Nolo is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. 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 175 miles
(280 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 958 mb (28.29 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.

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

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.
