Background

At 800 AM HST (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lane was located
by satellite and radar imagery near near latitude 17.1 North,
longitude 157.6 West. Lane is moving toward the northwest near 7 mph
(11 km/h). A turn toward the north-northwest and little change in
forward speed is expected today. A turn toward the north is
anticipated tonight and Friday, as Lane's forward motion slows. A
turn toward the west is expected on Saturday and Sunday, with an
increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, the center of Lane
will move very close to or over the portions of the main Hawaiian
islands later today through Friday.
 
Maximum sustained winds are near 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher
gusts. Lane is a powerful category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Steady weakening is forecast during the next
couple of days. Lane is expected to remain a hurricane as it draws
closer to the islands.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140
miles (220 km). NOAA buoy 51002 located about 250 miles southwest of
the Big Island recently reported sustained winds of 71 mph (114
km/h) and a gust of 94 mph
