Hurricane Felicia Update #1 Friday, August 7, 2009, 3:30 pm Aloha, As you know, Hurricane Felicia is weakening as it heads toward the Hawaiian Islands. We have been asked to provide periodic updates to our members: Current Situation:
Hurricane Felicia has weakened to a category 2 hurricane. The National Weather Service (NWS) believes that the storm will continue to weaken as it travels over cooler water today and tomorrow morning.
NWS also believes that Felicia will likely weaken to a tropical storm or tropical depression by the time it reaches the islands. All islands should therefore be prepared for:
High surf along eastern shores beginning Sunday.
Heavy showers and possible flooding on all islands Monday through Tuesday.
The State Civil Defense and the National Weather Service continue to monitor this storm closely and update the public on a regular basis.
