(BIVN) – Hurricane Olivia is 1,110 miles east of Hilo and has made a westward turn, heading toward the Central Pacific Ocean at 15 mph.

With maximum sustained winds near 85 mph, Olivia is forecast to remain a hurricane for the next couple of days. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles, the National Hurricane Center says.

Although there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect, forecasters say interests in Hawaii should monitor the progress of Olivia this weekend and use this time to enact your hurricane action plan.

The National Weather Service in Honolulu wrote this morning that the forecast has Olivia “approaching the islands Tuesday afternoon, then moving through the area Tuesday night through Wednesday night. The Central Pacific Hurricane Center will begin issuing advisories on Olivia this afternoon as it moves into the basin. Interests are reminded to continue to monitor the latest forecasts over the coming days, as forecast changes to the track and intensity of Olivia will be likely this far out in the forecast. As a result, it remains too early to determine any expected impacts to the islands next week.”

“A low, long period east swell generated by distant Hurricane Olivia will begin to fill in behind the fading Norman swell on Sunday,” the National Weather Service added. “This swell will continue to build early next week, likely producing warning level surf during mid week. The seas and surf forecast over the middle part of next week will be highly dependent on the track and intensity Olivia takes as it nears the area.”
