As of 11 this morning, the Central Pacific Hurricane Center says Hurricane Lane is less than 600 miles southeast of Hilo, moving west at 12 mph.

Hurricane Lane weakened to a Category 3 storm over the weekend, but has since re-intensified to a Category 4 storm today. The storm continues to have maximum sustained winds of 130 mph with some higher gusts. Forecasters say hurricane winds extend 30 miles from the center of the storm.

Officials with the Central Pacific Hurricane Center say there is still a lot of uncertainty regarding the exact impacts Lane will bring to the state, but the storm's current projection shows it could possibly swing north this Wednesday or Thursday - bringing the storm closer than originally anticipated to the islands.

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Honolulu said they did not see evidence of a wind shear that was supposed to weaken the storm this morning. Adding a combination of a pressure gradient in the are and high clouds lifting north could be contributing to the northerly turn of the hurricane.Officials also said that regardless of Lane's track, the latest forecast models indicate an extremely moist tropical airmass will move over the islands starting around Wednesday through the end of the week - leading to heavy rainfall and flash flooding.

Large swells from Lane are expected today for east and southeast facing shores of Maui and Hawaiʻi Island. A high surf advisory is in effect for those areas.
