Hurricane Hector TS Warning 4 Hawaii - close & strong Hurricane, not a direct hit

A tropical Storm warning has been issued for Hawaii.
10:00 pm Hawaii time - August 7th 2018. Hector looks like a strong Category 3 Hurricane. Estimated Wind gusts between 60 to 125 mph is the spread between Euro & GFS models. 1 inche to 5 inches of rain is the spread over 10 days on rain. The wind gusts predicted for the main land range from 20 to 40 miles per hour according to GFS & Euro.

I'd guess 10 inches of rain over 10 days, 60-70+ mph wind gusts and some radical waves. projected to pass 100-150 miles away.

It should be a good storm but not too bad. I'll keep you posted if the situation changes. unless i fall asleep. I've been working for about 17 hours now. but Hurricanes charge me up. Stay safe. Be cool. Stay cool. Aloha. God bless everyone,

According to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, the center of the hurricane was located about 315 miles southeast of Hilo on Tuesday night. Any deviation northward could bring Hector close enough to impact the Big Island.

Big Island officials are taking precautions in advance of the storm nearing the state. The Mayor's office has issued an emergency proclamation for Hawaii Island.

The storm was moving west at roughly 16 mph.

Possible impacts to the islands include:

Surf: Swells generated by Hector are forecast to reach southeast and east shores of the Big Island and Maui late Tuesday.

A high surf warning has been issued for east-facing shores of Hawaii Island for 12-13 foot waves.

A high surf advisory has been issued for east-facing shores of Maui for 6-10 foot surf. Both are in effect through 6 p.m. Wednesday. Higher than usual tides will combine with the large surf to increase the threat of coastal inundation.

Wind: Tropical-storm-force winds (39 to 73 mph) are possible across the Big Island late Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rain: Rains from the deep tropical moisture surrounding Hector could affect the Puna and Kau Districts of Hawaii Island, and some of those rain showers may be locally heavy at times, especially on east and southeast-facing slopes.

Over the next few days, Hector is expected to gradually weaken.
