Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Lane is expected to become a post-tropical remnant low later today or tonight. In a couple of days, Lane may develop into a gale force extratropical low as it passes over portions of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Lingering moisture associated with Lane will produce heavy rainfall over portions of the main Hawaiian Islands today, which could lead to additional flash flooding and landslides.
