NEW INFORMATION
---------------

* CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
    - All watches and warnings have been canceled

* CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS:
    - None

* STORM INFORMATION:
    - About 220 miles south of Hilo

    - Storm Intensity 115 mph
    - Movement West or 270 degrees at 16 mph

SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Hurricane Hector will be passing far south enough with minimal impact
on the Big Island. Therefore the tropical storm warning for that island
is cancelled.

Breezy trade winds will prevail across the state, with strong winds
affecting Lanai and the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa. A wind
advisory is in effect for those areas until midnight.

Surf along east facing shores continues to build and is expected to
peak today. Expect surf heights of 12 to 15 feet mainly for the Puna
and Kau districts of the Big Island. High surf combining with
seasonably high tides will produce overwash on low-lying coastal areas
and roadways, leading to increased potential for coastal erosion.

Rain bands associated with Hector are moving across the windward and
southeast coastal waters of the Big Island. Enhanced rainfall from
deep tropical moisture surrounding Hector will affect the Puna, Kau,
North Hilo, and South Hilo Districts of the Big Island through
Thursday.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------

* WIND:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time across the Hawaiian islands,
except for Lanai and the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

* FLOODING RAIN:
Additional impacts from flooding rain are still a concern across windward
Big Island. Remain well guarded against locally hazardous flood waters having
further impacts of limited potential.

Elsewhere across the Hawaiian islands, little to no impact is
anticipated.

* TORNADOES:
Little to no impacts are anticipated at this time
across the Hawaiian islands.

* OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS:
Prepare for locally hazardous high surf with coastal impacts along east
facing shores of the Big Island. Higher tides this afternoon will increase
the possibility of coastal inundation, due to the combination of high surf
and high tides.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* EVACUATIONS:
Listen to local official for recommended preparedness actions.

* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:

Be alert for potential flooding from rising rivers and streams. Remain
informed of the latest forecasts and heed any flood watches and warnings.
