Issued at 500 PM PDT Sun Aug 05 2018 830 WTPZ45 KNHC 052354 TCDEP5 Hurricane Hector Special Discussion Number 22 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102018 500 PM PDT Sun Aug 05 2018 This special advisory is to update the initial and forecast intensities for Hector. Satellite data indicate that the hurricane has continued to strengthen during the past 6 h, and the initial intensity has increased to at least 120 kt. Based on this, the intensities for the first 36 h of the forecast have been increased. There are no changes to the forecast track, the wind radii, or the intensities from 48-120 h. The NOAA G-IV aircraft is releasing dropsondes as it circumnavigates Hector during its flight to Hawaii to support forecast operations over the next few days. Data from these dropsondes should be incorporated into this evening's 0000 UTC dynamical models. While the official forecast track continues to lie south of the Hawaiian Islands, only a slight deviation to the north of the forecast track would significantly increase potential impacts on the Hawaiian Islands. It is a good time for everyone in the Hawaiian Islands to ensure they have their hurricane plan in place.
