DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM HST (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Nolo was located
near latitude 23.3 North, longitude 169.0 West. Nolo is moving
toward the west near 8 mph (13 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 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Rapid intensification is possible over the next day or so, 
and Nolo is forecast to become a major hurricane over the weekend.
 
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 975 mb (28.80 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.
