DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM HST (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nolo was located
near latitude 23.5 North, longitude 168.3 West. Nolo is moving
toward the west-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A mainly westward 
motion with an increase in forward speed is expected during the next 
few days. On the forecast track, the center of Nolo will continue to 
move through the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument but 
remain just south of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands west of 
French Frigate Shoals.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Rapid intensification is possible over the next 
day or so, and Nolo could become a major hurricane on Saturday.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115
miles (185 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 984 mb (29.06 inches).
 
 
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions will continue within the Tropical
Storm Warning area from French Frigate Shoals to Maro Reef through
early Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin
farther west from Maro Reef to Lisianski Island on Saturday.
 
SURF: Large waves associated with Nolo will continue to affect the
Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument over the next several
days. The surf will likely inundate some of the low-lying atolls
from French Frigate Shoals to Lisianski Island. Please consult
products from your local weather office.
