From Key Messages
Douglas is expected to move near or over portions of the Hawaiian Islands this weekend, and there is an increasing chance that strong winds and heavy rainfall could affect portions of the state beginning on Sunday. Interests on the Hawaiian Islands should continue to monitor the progress of Douglas.

This forecast increases the chance that Douglas could maintain hurricane intensity as it approaches the Hawaiian Islands, and all interests on the islands should monitor the forecasts as they evolve over the next few days.

Updated track, 115 mph peak expected with gusts to 140
Parker Hughes (McKinney, Tx)22-Jul-20 05:12 PM
Looks a bit stronger than a 80 MPH Cat 1 right now

I'd say it's around C3
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)22-Jul-20 10:13 PM
Better than the first 7 systems before it combined, no doubt

EPac finally racking up that ACE, getting too close to Hawaii tho

Looks like Doug has some deep convections from infrared satellite. Maybe rapid intensification? Or at least some intensification
There are some deep convections in Doug's rainbands as well
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)23-Jul-20 05:19 PM
This should be on a textbook
Garrett (Hillsdale MI)23-Jul-20 05:31 PM
Def RIing
125mph now
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)23-Jul-20 05:41 PM
Definitely looks way more like a high end cat 4 but whatever, I'll take it, finally NHem has something to look at this year lol
At 5 pm ET/11 am HST...A Hurricane Watch has been issued for the Big Island of Hawaii and for Maui County, including Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kahoolawe.

gonna go north of it and cause big waves being a Cat1. The water temps and environment aren't the best out there. Just glanced at it. Off back to the beach. BTW, whats that storm causing waves in the Gulf?
#Douglas looks as if it's almost become an annular hurricane. Distinctly axisymmetric, large eye, uniform ring of deep convection (a donut or truck tire, if you will), and a lack of outer bands. #tropics https://t.co/JiDFQKJ6wN
Wouldn’t this be something
Hunter Hollman (York, PA)24-Jul-20 06:26 PM
Pretty surprised how it kept it's act together
Zachary S (Jasper, AL)24-Jul-20 06:45 PM
Going full annular might Increase the chance of making it as a hurricane... interesting to watch
Hunter Hollman (York, PA)24-Jul-20 09:35 PM
Eyewall likely on it's way out

The eye of #Douglas is moving into radar range as it emerges out of the beam blockage from the mountains of Hawaii. Looks formidable! Be safe and rush any precautions to completion https://t.co/OikwRK6Tmc
