Take a look at the 5:00 pm cone above. While it does nudge the storm 50ish miles north of BI landfall from the 11:00am forecast, it also shows the storm no longer making a dramatic yank north and instead going straight through the center of Maui and sending it over towards Oahu. No change that I noticed in intensity from the forecast discussion:
This language was interesting: Of note,
while the official track forecast indicates Darby tracking over
portions of the Hawaiian Islands, the intensity forecast is thus far
not indicating significant weakening due to interaction with land
due to uncertainties associated with the track forecast.
