Felicia – Hawaii Impact Update

Hello to all…

Felicia continues to weaken and is a minimal tropical storm as of this update. A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for the big island of Hawaii and for all of Maui County including the islands of Maui, Kahoolawe, Lanai and Molokai. Tropical Storm Warnings could be issued for part of this watch area later today. Other parts of Hawaiian islands including Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau may require a Tropical Storm Watch later today.

At this time, Felicia is expected to weaken to tropical storm strength and the projected intensity of Felicia is to be either a tropical depression or tropical storm when it reaches the Hawaiian islands. Felicia’s impacts will be felt late Monday Hawaiian time or about 0600-0800 UTC Tuesday in full force with outer rain bands or increased moisure starting up earlier in the day Monday. VoIP Hurricane Net activation appears unlikely at this time as Felicia is expected to be a tropical depression or weak tropical storm but this will continued to be monitored due to the complexities that can occur with intensity forecasting of tropical systems. The latest advisory information from the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) on Felicia can be found under the main menu of the voipwx.net web site under Pacific Tropical Products.
