Service.

.DISCUSSION...
Hurricane Nolo is presently forecast to pass near but south of Midway
and Kure Atolls on Sunday and Monday during which time NE to E winds
are expected to increase to around 25 kts with higher gusts. Moderate
to heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms around the periphery of Nolo
will also be possible during this time. Until then, moderate trades
with scattered showers can be expected. Swell will be dominated
by medium to long period energy emanating from Hurricane Nolo reaching
the forecast points as early as Wednesday. The swell forecast carries
greater uncertainty than usual due to additional complexity related
to Nolo`s track, intensity, and increasingly close proximity to
Kure and Midway with time.
