DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Olivia was
located near latitude 20.1 North, longitude 159.0 West. Olivia is
moving toward the west-southwest near 20 mph (31 km/h). This motion
is expected to continue through tomorrow with a slight decrease in
forward speed, followed by a turn toward the west on Friday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Olivia is
expected to become a post-tropical remnant low on Thursday night or
Friday.
 
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km)
from the center.
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
RAINFALL: Areas of heavy rainfall will persist through Thursday
night. Moisture associated with Olivia is expected to produce total
rainfall accumulations of 5 to 10 inches in some areas, with
isolated amounts of 15 inches, especially in higher terrain. This
rainfall may produce life-threatening flash flooding. Nine inches of
rain have already fallen over parts of Maui.
 
SURF: Large swells generated by Olivia will impact parts of the
main Hawaiian Islands into tonight. This will result in dangerous
surf along east facing shores.
 
 
NEXT ADVISORY

Next complete advisory at 1100 PM HST.
