Tropical Storm Lane:
Location: 19.5 N / 158.4 W (advisory 44a)

Discussion:
According to the Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC), Tropical Storm Lane continues to slowly weaken while drifting to the north-northwest at 3 mph.
Tropical Storm Lane is losing organization but is expected to remain a tropical storm for the next several hours before becoming a post-tropical remnant low. The peak wind gusts at Honolulu have been 35 Kts (24 August /09z to 14z) and winds are much lighter now. Tropical Storm Lane’s slow movement (soon to be westward) is causing prolonged heavy rainfall across favored upslope areas of the island of Hawaii where over 40 inches has already been reported and ten inches or more is still possible.
Across other areas, rainfall has been less organized and lighter but locally stronger rains have fallen. The heavy rainfall – especially across Hawaii – is expected to continue for the next 24 hours at least.
The main impact will be flooding, especially across Hawaii. The flooding threat will continue the next couple of days. Surface winds remained at tropical storm strength according to initial analysis.
