Hurricane Douglas Tropical Cyclone Update

1097 PM HST Sun Jul 26 2020

...1000 PM HST POSITION UPDATE...
...DANGEROUS HURRICANE DOUGLAS LOCATED EAST-NORTHEAST OF KAUAI 
INTENSIFIES SLIGHTLY ...
 
The eye of Hurricane Douglas is being tracked by the Molokai radar 
as the tropical cyclone moves west-northwestward just north of the 
western end of the main Hawaiian Island chain. A Hurricane Hunter 
aircraft, which is currently flying in Douglas, indicates it has 
intensified slightly during the past few hours. In addition, the 
radar and aircraft are showing short-term wobbles in the forward 
motion of the tropical cyclone. The Hurricane Hunter's will 
continue to provide valuable data as Douglas moves away from the 
Molokai radar, and it will be poorly sampled by the Kauai radar.
