Pacific/Hawaii: Flossie

[PelicanBill]

This storm is coming in behind Erick but the trajectory is more concerning, with a path toward the Hawaiian Islands.  The strength is uncertain that far out and it won't arrive before Monday.  We'll watch this one carefully as the weekend rolls around.

[PelicanBill]

Not much different from yesterday. Flossie is predicted to arrive east side of the Big Island on Monday as a tropical storm, but 4 days is still plenty of time for things to change.

[PelicanBill]

A little good in the forecast path for Flossie, deflecting NW off the coast of the islands.  Let's hope that holds.

[PelicanBill]

Path still looking to stay offshore and weaken.... perhaps a repeat of Erick's wind, rain and surf but for the east and north shores.

[PelicanBill]

So Flossie will drop fast to a depression during Monday and make a glancing pass at the north shores of Hawaii and Maui and even Oahu.  Some high surf and wind and rain but hardy Hawaiians will think nothing of it.

[PelicanBill]

As expected Flossie is down to a depression before arriving... no watches or warnings posted at all.  Just a rainy windy day.

yay!
