...1000 AM HST POSITION UPDATE...
...DANGEROUS HURRICANE DOUGLAS CLOSING IN ON THE HAWAIIAN 
ISLANDS...

The eye of Hurricane Douglas is being tracked by the North 
Kohala and Molokai WSR-88D radars as the tropical cyclone 
moves west-northwest, east of Maui County. Due to the distance 
from the radars, the radars are sampling the upper portions of 
Douglas. Hurricane Hunters from the Air Force 53rd Weather 
Reconnaissance Squadron continue to conduct missions 
through Douglas and have observed Douglas experiencing southerly 
vertical wind shear. This has been factored into the radar position 
fix below.
