#tropical storm warning

Hone has weakened from hurricane status to a tropical storm as the center passed about 175 miles south of Kauaʻi. On the forecast track, Hone will continue moving away from the main Hawaiian Islands, and pass well north of Johnston Island Tuesday night into Wednesday, according to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center.

The Central Pacific Hurricane Center has upgraded Hone to the status of a Category 1 Hurricane, with maximum sustained winds now at 75 mph. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 15 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 125 miles, according to the CPHC. The system was last located about 105 miles south of Hilo, Hawaiʻi, 115 miles SSE of Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi; 55 miles SSE of South Point, Hawaiʻi; 180 miles SSE of Hāna, Maui; 200 miles SSE of Kahului, Maui; 230 miles SSE of Kaunakakai, Molokaʻi; 210 miles SSE of Lānaʻi City, Lānaʻi; 275 miles SE of Honolulu, Oʻahu; 370 miles SE of Līhuʻe, Kauaʻi; and 405 miles SE of Niʻihau.

3:27 p.m. UPDATE: The National Weather Service has canceled all flood watches, high wind and surf advisories as former Tropical Storm Calvin heads west away from Hawaiʻi. Only a small craft advisory and gale warning remain for island waters as of 3:30 p.m. The National Weather Service says breezy trades will continue around the islands “due to the pressure difference between Clavin and the subtropical high to the north and northeast.”

11 p.m. UPDATE: The “most damaging wind and weather conditions” are currently focused over the Big Island and the islands in Maui County tonight through Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.  The NWS says each island will see about a 12-18 hour period of weather impacts.

The National Weather Service has CONTINUED the TROPICAL STORM WARNING for MAUI COUNTY. 

A Tropical Storm WARNING is now in effect for Maui County (including the islands of Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe) and Hawaiʻi County.

A Flood Potential Outlook for the state says heavy rain and flash flooding are possible Thursday and Friday. A tropical storm warning was also issued for offshore waters between 40 and 240 nautical miles around Hawaiʻi.
