located near latitude 19.2 North, longitude 158.4 West. Lane is
now moving toward the northwest near 3 mph (6 km/h) and this motion
is expected to become more westerly with an increase in forward

center of Lane will pass south of Kauai on Saturday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts.  Additional weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours,

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are still expected in and near
rain bands that will affect Oahu, Maui County, and the Big Island
tonight into Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are possible on
Kauai starting Saturday.
 
RAINFALL: Excessive rainfall remains possible into the weekend,
which could lead to additional flash flooding and landslides.
Lane is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 20
inches in some areas. Localized storm total amounts up to 40 inches
are possible, mainly on the windward side of the Big Island where
over 30 inches of rain has already fallen in some areas.

Islands into the weekend. These swells will produce high surf along
exposed south and east shorelines through Saturday.
