DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
———————-
At 500 AM HST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Lane was
located near latitude 19.1 North, longitude 162.2 West. The
depression is moving toward the west near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue into Monday. A brief slowing
in forward motion is expected Monday night as Lane makes a turn
toward the northwest. Lane is then expected to accelerate
northwestward by Tuesday as it transitions to an extratropical low.

Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Lane is
expected to become a post-tropical remnant low later today or
tonight. In a couple of days, Lane may develop into a gale force
extratropical low as it passes over portions of the Northwestern
Hawaiian Islands.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches).

HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
———————-
RAINFALL: Lingering moisture associated with Lane will produce heavy
rainfall over portions of the main Hawaiian Islands today, which
could lead to additional flash flooding and landslides.
