SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for... * The Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to French Frigate Shoals A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Kauai County, including the islands of Kauai and Niihau A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. Interests elsewhere in the Hawaiian Islands and the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument should monitor the progress of Lowell. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM HST (2100 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Lowell was located near latitude 15.2 North, longitude 163.7 West. Lowell is moving toward the north near 6 mph (9 km/h). A northward to north-northeastward motion at a faster forward speed is expected through Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Lowell will move across portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, just west of the main Hawaiian Islands, Monday night. Lowell is forecast to turn toward the northwest and slow down by early Wednesday after passing the Hawaiian Islands. Data from an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher gusts. Lowell is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Little change in strength is expected through today, but gradual weakening is forecast to begin tonight. Lowell is expected to remain a hurricane while passing near Hawaii. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 50 miles (85 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km). The minimum central pressure based on dropsonde data is 948 mb (28.00 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Lowell can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header HFOTCDCP4 and WMO header WTPA44 PHFO. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected in Kauai County by Monday afternoon or evening. Wind speeds atop and on the windward and leeward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds, and wind gusts to hurricane force are possible. Hurricane conditions are expected in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument between Nihoa and French Frigate Shoals Monday night, with tropical storm conditions beginning Monday afternoon. RAINFALL: Lowell is expected to produce rainfall totals of 6 to 10 inches for Kauai, with maximum totals of 14 inches possible. For the Big Island, 4 to 8 inches of rain is expected with isolated totals of 12 inches possible. For Maui, 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected, with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches possible. Across the remaining islands, rainfall of 2 to 4 inches is possible. This rainfall may produce significant flash flooding and mudslides, especially across Kauai County and portions of the Big Island. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Hurricane Lowell, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep12.shtml?rainqpf STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Kauai County...1-3 ft Oahu...Up to 1 ft The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the right of the center, where the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances. For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_cp4.shtml?peakSurge. TORNADOES: Several tornadoes are possible near Kauai and Niihau Monday afternoon through Monday night. A few tornadoes are also possible across the remainder of the Hawaiian Islands. SURF: Swells from Lowell are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions during the next several days across many of the Hawaiian islands. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 PM HST. Next complete advisory at 500 PM HST. $$ Forecaster Berg

Hurricane Lowell Forecast Discussion Number 43
Published: Sun, 06 Sep 2026 20:47:06 GMT
Issued at 1100 AM HST Sun Sep 06 2026 507 WTPA44 PHFO 062047 TCDCP4 Hurricane Lowell Discussion Number 43 NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI EP122026 Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1100 AM HST Sun Sep 06 2026 An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission is currently investigating Lowell and on their first pass through the eye found that the central pressure has risen to 948 mb. The highest 700-mb flight-level wind so far is 109 kt. Satellite images show that the eye has grown in size this morning and is now about 30 n mi in diameter. Based on the rise in pressure and the flight-level winds measured on this and the previous mission, the initial intensity is now set at 105 kt. Lowell has turned toward the north with an estimated motion of 350/5 kt. The steering continues to be dominated by a cutoff mid-/upper-level low located north-northeast of Hawaii, which is forecast to move west-southwestward and cause Lowell to accelerate toward the north and north-northeast through Monday night. The track guidance has shifted a bit to the east again, and the typically better-performing HCCA and GDMI models as well as HAFS-A and -B lie along the eastern edge of the envelope. The NHC official forecast has also been nudged eastward to account for recent model trends. The wind risk for Kauai and Niihau has trended upward based on the latest track and size forecast, with the 50-kt wind radii now crossing Niihau in about 36 hours. Accounting for the potential of additional eastward shifts, as well as the terrain, there is an increasing chance of gusts to hurricane force on those islands. After the center passes the Hawaiian Islands, model guidance is in good agreement that Lowell will turn westward by early Friday, but there is some disagreement on the sharpness of that turn. Lowell's intensity is expected to remain fairly steady for the next 12 hours before south-southwesterly shear increases. Gradual weakening should begin by tonight, and the NHC intensity forecast has generally been adjusted toward the latest IVCN, HCCA, and GDMI guidance. Lowell is now expected to weaken to a tropical storm by early Wednesday, after passing the Hawaiian Islands, due to the effects of continued shear and dry air. Some models are even suggesting that Lowell could lose deep convection and become post-tropical by day 5, but since there is a lot of uncertainty, the official forecast continues to keep tropical status through the forecast period. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Lowell's center is forecast to pass just west of Kauai County late Monday into early Tuesday. A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Kauai County, including Kauai and Niihau, where tropical storm conditions are expected to begin Monday afternoon and continue through Tuesday morning. Wind gusts to hurricane force are possible atop mountains and on windward and leeward slopes. 2. Heavy rainfall associated with Lowell will begin to impact the Hawaiian Islands today and continue through early this week. Periods of heavy rain may produce significant flash flooding and mudslides, especially across Kauai County and portions of the Big Island. 3. Large swells from Lowell are expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip current conditions across portions of the Hawaiian Islands during the next several days. Surf along exposed portions of Kauai County could produce coastal flooding and inundation of low-lying areas Monday through Monday night.

Issued at 1100 AM HST Sun Sep 06 2026 000 WTPA45 PHFO 062031 TCDCP5 Tropical Storm Karina Discussion Number 42 NWS Central Pacific Hurricane Center Honolulu HI EP112026 Issued by NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1100 AM HST Sun Sep 06 2026 Karina continues to lack deep convection as it moves through a dry airmass. The latest subjective intensity estimates are a consensus 35 kt from PHFO and JTWC, while objective intensity estimates range from 32-41 kt. The initial intensity is reduced to 45 kt for this advisory. Karina has slowed down and turned west-northwestward with an initial motion estimate of 300/5 kt. A westward to west-northwestward motion with an increase in forward speed is expected over the next day or so as Karina gets pulled westward by a mid-level low to its west and ridging builds in to the north of Karina. The track forecast is similar to the previous one and is close to the HCCA and the GDMI. Karina will continue moving through a very dry airmass, over the next day or two. This, combined with a continuation of moderate west-southwesterly wind shear and sea-surface temperatures in the 25-26C range should lead to continued weakening, and Karina is unlikely to redevelop any significant deep convection. Therefore, the NHC forecast now calls for Karina to become post-tropical within the next 12 h. The cyclone is likely to hold onto gale-force winds for another 24-30 h as it gradually spins down. By Tuesday, the low should dissipate when it gets sheared apart by the combination of a powerful mid- to upper-level trough and outflow from Hurricane Lowell.

Hurricane Marie Forecast Discussion Number 23
Published: Sun, 06 Sep 2026 20:36:09 GMT
Issued at 200 PM PDT Sun Sep 06 2026 393 WTPZ43 KNHC 062036 TCDEP3 Hurricane Marie Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132026 200 PM PDT Sun Sep 06 2026 Satellite imagery shows that Marie continues to gradually lose convective organization. The latest subjective Dvorak estimate from TAFB is 65 kt, and objective intensity estimates have fallen to the 55-62 range. A 1734 UTC partial ASCAT-B overpass shows some 50-kt vectors in the eastern semicircle. The initial intensity is lowered to a possibly generous 65 kt for this advisory. Marie is still moving northwestward, with an initial motion estimate of 315/6 kt. A bend more to the west-northwest is expected tonight as the mid- to upper-level trough north of Marie currently causing the northwestward motion moves eastward on Monday and loosens its grip on Marie. Then, another mid- to upper-level low will strengthen over the Pacific to the northwest of Marie, causing a turn back toward the northwest, or possibly north-northwest on Tuesday. The NHC track forecast is very similar to the previous one and closely follows the HFIP Corrected Consensus (HCCA) and Google DeepMind Ensemble Mean (GDMI). Based on the spread in the guidance, confidence in the track forecast is near average. Marie is traveling over 25 C sea-surface temperatures and through a dry airmass. The cyclone will continue moving over progressively cooler water and into a progressively drier airmass over the next couple of days. Therefore, continued steady weakening is forecast. Although vertical wind shear is weak right now, southwesterly shear is forecast to increase in 36-48 h as Marie approaches the aforementioned mid- to upper-level low to its northwest. Little to no change has been made to the previous NHC intensity forecast. This forecast lies near the higher end of the guidance suite. Marie is now forecast to lose it's convection and become a post-tropical remnant low by day 3 (Wednesday). After the system becomes post-tropical, global models show it weakening and dissipating in 4 to 5 days.
