    First one is Iselle which seems to have a good target lock on the big island. Second Julio, with forecast track to the north a bit. Neither is big (central pressures >980 MB). But if the roof above you is made of palm leaves or similar, perhaps spend the next few days somewhere else?

    Local reports would be much appreciated.

    Nice visualization here
    UHMET Latest GOES-West 4km Infrared Image: Tropical East-Central Pacific
    Showing Hawaii, Iselle and Julio left to right
    Mauna Kea weather here
    Mauna Kea Weather Center Forecast
    Currently forecasting 40 mph winds (I bet that's low)
    Kerry Emanuel puts (all the) forecast tracks and intensities together here
    Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Track Forecasts

    If you go to the NWS hurricane center, they just give you one forecast track. Derived from those above, plus forecasters' experience.

    Both storms are in low-wind-shear environments, but the sea surface is not warm enough to fuel intensity increases

    So, how many surfers will permanently offer themselves up this time?
