SAB is much more in line with what recon has found over the past several hours (most recent pass is around 992mb. Ill post the vortex message when it becomes available). CIMSS is a little too strong.

Most recent pass was 988.

Edit: Guess they adjusted it to 992. But this was the case for the previous advisory. CPHC ignored the VDM data and went with the raw data. We'll see.

Ana is pretty weird. It was struggling from non existent shear and now it's holding its own against 30kts of shear.

Very fortunate this behemoth missed us (although Kauai is not out of the woods just yet). I just wonder how long can the Hawaiian Island's luck hold?

It may be wobbling too, but the overall movement is like the CPHC says when they say:



HURRICANE ANA TROPICAL CYCLONE UPDATE
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI CP022014
1000 PM HST SAT OCT 18 2014

...10 PM POSITION UPDATE...
...HURRICANE ANA STILL MOVING NORTHWEST AND CONTINUING TO APPROACH
NIIHAU AND KAUAI...


SUMMARY OF 800 PM HST...0600 UTC...INFORMATION
--------------------------------------------------
LOCATION...20.3N 159.4W
ABOUT 120 MI...195 KM S OF LIHUE HAWAII
ABOUT 120 MI...195 KM SW OF HONOLULU HAWAII
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...80 MPH...130 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 320 DEGREES AT 6 MPH...10 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...987 MB...29.15 INCHES

FORECASTER R BALLARD



An actual update to the track would have been nice though. Have to wait another hour until the full advisory to see what they think. But it is definitely heading very right of the track. It will be up to wobbles to see how close it gets to Kauai. It could potentially over or just next to Niihau.

Agreed.

I think a Hurricane watch should be placed just in case those wobbles continue. Maybe even a Tropical Storm warning for Oahu since Ana has slowed considerably and Oahu is very close to the TS wind field radius.

There should definitely be a hurricane watch for Kauai County, but they really need a hurricane warning at this point. It meets the criteria:

"Hurricane Warning:
An announcement that sustained winds of 64 knots (74 mph or 119 km/hr) or higher are expected somewhere within the specified area in association with a tropical, subtropical, or post-tropical cyclone. Because hurricane preparedness activities become difficult once winds reach tropical storm force, the warning is issued 36 hours in advance of the anticipated onset of tropical-storm-force winds. The warning can remain in effect when dangerously high water or a combination of dangerously high water and waves continue, even though winds may be less than hurricane force."

From: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml

They don't separate between Niihau and Kauai (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/breakpoints.php) and Niihau should have a hurricane warning.

That is not to say that the island of Kauai itself might not possibly see sustained hurricane force winds, but it is obviously much more likely on Niihau given the current movement.

Niiahu is considered as the island of Kauai. The same as Molokai and the islands around it belong to the Island of Maui.

But yeah, but this is the CPHC were talking about. They shouldve mentioned some sort of possibility yesterday when the Euro shifted to the right. I dont mean to bash or criticize, but did they not learn from Iniki?? It wouldnt hurt to at least mention that a shift in track may happen. The NHC does it all the time in full detail. Ah well.

They only give a cumulative 4% chance of Niihau seeing 50 knot winds. I think they needed a hurricane watch for sure, and really needed a warning in my opinion, but since that would include Kauai too, which would be very unlikely in my opinion to see sustained hurricane force winds, I guess they decided not to. I think Niihau has a much, much greater chance of 50 knot winds.

Maybe they will eventually. I dont think they have a very good handle on that High right now.

Re: CPAC: ANA - Hurricane

It better turn soon. The yellow line is 45 nautical miles to the NE of the next forecast point which represents the 50 knot wind field according to the CPHC. The CPHC gives a cumulative 4% chance that those winds will reach Niihue.

Edit: That's the 11pm HST track too, which Ana is already north of.

The 10:00 pm update was @ 320. 11:00 pm update has 315. I personally don't see much of a turn to the left @ 315.

I'm not sure what kind of movement they are going by. The twelve hour movement from 11am HST to 11pm HST would be 330 degrees if they had the 11am HST position correct. I didn't see radar then, but it seems like they were likely off.
