THESE LAST NUMBERS AND
POSITIONS.
KATHY?
THANK YOU, HOWARD.
YES, I'M HERE WITH ERIC LAU,
METEOROLOGIST AT THE -- IT
GETS HARDER TO SAY AS THE
NIGHT GOES ON.
WITH THE CENTRAL PACIFIC
HURRICANE CENTER.
AND YOU HAD A CHANCE TO
QUICKLY DLOOK AT THE 11:00
O'CLOCK UPDATE, WHICH SHOWED
MORE WEAKENING AND THE GOOD
NEWS, TOO, THAT IT'S STILL ON
A NORNL WESTERLY JOG, EVEN
THOUGH IT'S VERY SLOW.
RIGHT, WEAKENING BUT REALLY
FOCUSING IN ON THE SLOW
NORTHWEST MOVEMENT OF TROPICAL
STORM LANE.
BUT IT'S MOVING NORTHWEST AT
ABOUT 3 MILES PER HOUR.
SO STILL VERY SLOW MOVEMENT.
THAT JUST REALLY HELPS TO
PROLONG THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE
AND THE DURATION OF ALL THAT
MOISTURE TO LINGER OVER THE
ISLANDS, CREATING THAT HEAVY
RAINFALL AND THE POSSIBILITIES
OF FLASH FLOODING.
THE BIG ISLAND HAS ALREADY
EXCEEDED IN SOME AREAS 40-INCH
S.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD
CONTINUE TO LEAD TO THESE LIFE
-THREATENING FLOODING
SITUATIONS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
WATCH FOR THAT THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. THE GOOD NEWS,
THOUGH, IS THAT THE WORDS
WEREN'T NEARLY STATIONARY.
SO AT LEAST AS SMALL AS IT IS.
WEEKEND PROGRESSES THAT
PERHAPS THE JOG WOULD BE A
LITTLE FURTHER TO THE WEST AND
MAYBE IT WOULD PICK UP SPEED.
RIGHT.
DEFINITELY.
ONCE THE TRADE WINDS CAN
REALLY TAKE HOLD OF TROPICAL
STORM LANE AND CONTINUE TO
WEAKEN IT FURTHER, WE'LL
EXPECT LANE TO CONTINUE ITS
WESTWARD TACK.
STILL, ALL THAT MOISTURE IS
STILL GOING TO BE DRAGGED UP
THE STATE.
AND THE HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
EVENTUALLY SPREAD OVER TO OAHU
TWO DAYS.
Q:
SOME OF THE THAT MOISTURE
COULD BE IN THE FORM OF
THUNDERSTORM STILL.
DEFINITELY ALL THAT RAIN
INTERACTION WITH THE MOISTURE
WILL ALSO DEFINITELY LEAD TO
THUNDERSTORMS.
SOMETIMES THOSE THUNDERSTORMS
CAN BE PRODUCED, THEY PRODUCE
TOWARDS OR EVEN WATER
WATERSPOUTS.
SURROUNDINGS.
BEFORE I LET YOU GO FOR THE
NIGHT.
CAN YOU GO THROUGH WHAT WE CAN
EXPECT FOR EACH COUNTY FOR
THIS WEEKEND.
DEFINITELY THE BIG ISLAND
THEY'RE GOING TO START TO --
YOU'RE GOING TO REALLY
CONTINUE TO SEE THAT MOISTURE
STREAMING THROUGH YOU'RE AREA.
HEAVY RAIN IS GOING TO
CONTINUE OVERNIGHT AND IN
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THERE'S
A LOT THE MOISTURE OUT INTO
THE SOUTH, THE SOUTH AND SOUTH
EEVMENT. AS LANE DEPARTS YOU
CAN STILL EXPECT THAT STREAM
OF MOISTURE CONTINUE MOVING
OVER THE ISLANDS. SAME THING
FOR MAUI COUNTY AND OAHU.
STARTING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
MAUI'S ALREADY, THEY'RE IN
SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS THIS
EVENING.
THEY'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
SEE RAINFALL.
THAT RAFFLE IS GOING TO
EVENTUALLY SPREAD OVER OAHU
TOMORROW.
PROBABLY BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON
INTO THE EVENING WE'LL START
RAIN SLAWRS MOVE INTO KAUAI.
HOPEFULLY BY TOMORROW NIGHT
WE'LL SEE LANE, PERHAPS EVEN
BEING A REMNANT LOW, BUT
CERTAINLY A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION.
RIGHT.
DEFINITELY EXPECTING LANE TO
CONTINUE WEAKENING. THE
FORECAST DOES SHOW LANE WILL
BECOME A DEPRESSION SOMETIME
TOMORROW AND POTENTIALLY A
REMNANT LOW SHORTLY AFTER THAT
AND HOPEFULLY, IS IT
OPTIMISTIC TO SAY BY MONDAY AT
LEAST THE ISLAND OF HAWAII
MIGHT START SEEING SOME
SUNSHINE AGAIN?
WELL, THERE'S STILL A LOT OF
MOISTURE.
AND THAT SLOW MOVEMENT OF LANE
, THAT'S CONTINUE TO DRAG
THAT MOISTURE OVER US.
IT'LL TAKE A FEW DAYS FOR
UTION TO DRY OUT.
AS THE TRADE WINDS BUILD BACK
IN WITH DIER AIR.
HOPEFULLY BY THE MIDWEEK TIME
FRAME WE'LL START TO SEE
THINGS DRY OUT ACROSS THE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ERIC FOR

PROVIDING ALL THIS INFORMATION
