5PM Tropical Storm Olivia Update

Some kinda good news for Kohala, in that Olivia is tracking a bit Northerly, It may be better for us, but Maui and Oahu are more at risk. Of course, the tracking can change so stay alert and prepared.

At 500 PM HST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Olivia was
located near latitude 21.9 North, longitude 149.7 West. Olivia is

west-southwest motion is expected for the next few days. On the
forecast track, Olivia will be moving over the main Hawaiian Islands
late Tuesday night into Wednesday.

gusts.  Gradual weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, but
Olivia is expected to remain a tropical storm as it moves across
the islands.

from the center.
