Latest advisory has Lane still at 155mph, with 929mb central pressure. Moving WNW at 10mph. 

Kinda surprised given that last recon pass, but oh well. 5mph isn't going to make a big difference in the impacts on Hawaii. 

but a cat 5  for historical reasons..

pressure down to 929 mb but kept the winds at 155...

it would be a shame if a cat 5 storm never gets called that..

early this year in honolulu they had 3-5 inches of rain in a 1-2 hour period .. producing massive flooding...

After this point, the
track and intensity forecast become increasingly uncertain, as a
bulk of the model guidance is depicting interaction between Lane and
the terrain of the islands. This interaction then leads to a
weakened Lane increasingly being steered by the low-level trade wind
flow. The updated track forecast is essentially an update of the
previous official forecast, and lies very close to the multi-model
consensus HCCA.

I woke up this morning to see that the track of Lane has shifted significantly to the right. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center now says that a hurricane watch could be issued for the NW Hawaiian islands by tonight. The locals here say they can feel the storm coming because the winds have been so calm. The Hurricane has literally sucked away all the breezes as they put it.

Unlike the other islands, the poplulated portions of Ohau aren’t protected from the mountains.

I guess I picked a bad time to go to Ohau.

without the trade winds hawaii  can be like nyc very humid and uncomfortable...as a weather  fan this sort of possible setup should peak your interest.. i would think...

From what I saw yesterday Hurricane Hector is supposed to strengthen to a category 4 by Tuesday and then quickly weaken. I'm all for that happening. I also have question. I know that in Hawaii they have a different name for hurricanes but I don't remember what it is. Can anyone help me?

you mean hurricane lane...
