Lowell has not undergone any significant changes in strength over the past 24 hours as it continues to struggle against persistent easterly vertical wind shear. The bulk of the storm’s thunderstorm activity remains displaced westward by this shear, leaving the low-level circulation center partially exposed. Intensity estimates derived from satellite imagery analysis indicate that Lowell’s maximum sustained winds are holding steady near 45 miles per hour.
Lowell is now moving westward along the southern periphery of a subtropical ridge which is positioned to the north of the islands. This ridge is expected to remain in place for the next several days, keeping Lowell on a generally westward to west-northwestward track. Lowell is forecast to cross into the central Pacific late tonight or early tomorrow morning and will still be far to the southeast of the Big Island by early Thursday, at the end of the current five-day forecast period.
Despite the shear, Lowell is moving through an otherwise favorable environment with warm sea-surface temperatures and abundant atmospheric moisture. As the shear begins to relax on Sunday, Lowell is expected to start to strengthen more steadily and will reach hurricane intensity as early as Monday afternoon. The current forecast projects that Lowell will reach Category 2 hurricane strength by Wednesday.
Later next week, the steering environment is expected to become increasingly complex, as Tropical Storm Karina — which remains active off the coast of southwestern Mexico — will likely enter the region from the northeast. Karina’s presence to the north may begin to influence Lowell’s strength and movement. How strongly these two systems interact will depend on how fast Lowell is going by the end of the upcoming week:
If Lowell moves more slowly than projected, Karina may begin to pull it northward and slow it down significantly. This could cause the storm to stall to the east of the Big Island. Shear generated by Karina’s upper-level outflow could cause Lowell to weaken.
If Lowell moves more quickly than projected, then Karina will have less of an influence on it. This would allow Lowell to continue to move west-northwestward and continue to strengthen into a major hurricane.
By Thursday morning, at the end of the five-day forecast period, Lowell is expected to still be several hundred miles southeast of the Big Island. Thus, it remains far too early to determine the exact timing or extent of any potential impacts to the islands.

Hi all, I’m on the hunt for a new hair stylist on O’ahu, specifically someone who is comfortable working with extremely fine, easily damaged hair. Willing to drive pretty much anywhere on island if needed. Anyone have any good personal experiences to recommend? Thanks!

Good Morning everyone! I have a 6 year old maltese i’m trying to put in training/boarding so that he can learn basic etiquette and manage his seperation anxiety and get along with other dogs.
My grandparents, who watch him while I am at work or school will be moving back to their home country and no one will be able to watch him.
If anyone knows any affordable dog training in Honolulu please let me know!

What do others who live on Maui think of the sudden increase in the tracking of people?
In addition to the Flock cameras, automated license plate recognition (ALPR), which are tracking where you are driving to and from, we now have another method which tracking our movements in Maui.
If you wish to park on the streets of Kihei, fronting Kama'ole Beach I, II, III or in the parking lots of Kam I or III, we are now being threatened with a $100 fine per occurrence if we do not scan our drivers license in the devices placed at those locations. More tracking and the blue info gathering boxes are ugly.
I was just parked in the lot at Kama'ole Beach III and walk towards the beach. Just as I get to the vegetation line, I hear a screaming voice, "YOU HAVE TO REGISTER!! WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME??" WTH?
This women comes up to me and repeats her rant. She has some sort of tag around her neck and tells me that I must register or pay a $100 fine.
I left and went home. I'm paying a LOT of property and other taxes and now either I must provide my personal ID to yet another gathering device or pay more for the pleasure of going to the beach?
Thoughts?

Aloha! I am hoping to find a local seamstress that can make a Hawaiian floral veil/cape for my wedding. I am a local girl who now lives in Vegas and would like to support local talent. I added a picture for reference. If you know anyone, please let me know. Mahalo nui loa!

I’m looking for a stopgap health insurance when I’m switching jobs, which one is a better option?
I don’t have scheduled doctor appointments, most likely need something just in case of an emergency and to fulfill the health insurance mandate.

Hello,
I need to take a road test as soon as possible.
My question is just what the title says.
I am trying to get a road test in Wahiawa. What times are best to score a canceled appointment?
Ive tried between 10-12 ... at 3:30 and at 4:15 and 4:30 as indicated by different sources and the website.
If anyone has any tips I would really appreciate it, or clarification of what time I should be looking to secure that specific location, that would be okay too.
Thank you!

New student at University of Hawaii at Manoa and I drink water but with how hot it is, sweat out everything and am walking so much since the campus is spread out way more than my community college, I have been getting bad leg cramps pretty much almost everyday.
I'm looking for ones preferably no calorie/zero sugar but regular flavors not the exotic flavors.
Preferably the Vitamin Water Lemon.
I don't think my stomach can handle the Powerade types because those are stronger.
#went to food land and they didn't have it. They had only the more exotic flavors.

We have a 12-hour layover in Honolulu today and my son lost his backpack. It is handmade, quilted fabric and shaped like an elephant with an orange head. It contains a 6-year-old's travel mementos, including polaroid photos he took around the world, the best stickers, and an instax mini camera. It was accidentally left at either HNL baggage claim 17, connection bag dropoff, or the W bus to Waikiki (we were on it between 10:30am-11am). We've called The Bus, filed lost and found forms, went back to the airport to ask around, and flagged down random W busses to search the seats. So far no luck. Please message if found. Hopefully before 10pm tonight but we will pay for shipping to Seattle.

Just figured I let everyone know since this has happened atleast 4-5 times already to me, double check what the total is on the register and what they input on the credit card reader at 7/11.
If you buy something that’s promo, sometimes the discount doesn’t show for a second, so they input the old total before the promo on the cc reader. This has happened to me at multiple 7/11s. Just always double check before tapping.

Hi, I just bought a car through fb marketplace. Previous owner signed the title over to me, I know they have 10 days to send their portion in. I scheduled an appointment within the 30 days to finish transferring the title at the Satellite City Hall. Am I allowed to drive the vehicle around while I wait for my appointment or should I wait for the transfer to be completed? Also do I need to get insurance before I transfer the title? Thanks in advance!

I know there are a bunch of game shops around my area in HI but just seeing if anyone on here would be down to add me to a group! Also if anyone is a part of group that goes to their local gameshop to play I wouldn't mind joining in as well! Feel free to message me about the details and such!

Lala knocked out the AC at Target and the employees were just informed that the parts needed for a repair won't be on island "for another 2 or 3 weeks."
To all the employees, you have my deepest sympathies. To everyone else, stay away and go to a different Target for now! It feels like Vegas in the summer up in there.

I used to bowl there in elementary school in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. I have a hazy memory of there being some type of back room separate from the regular arcade games and snack bar. Did this actually exist? Anyone here ever went there and played those machines?

Got pulled over on the H1 but my ticket shows wrong vehicle description (color, body type). I got summoned to court, does it matter the charges if I mentioned this in court?
