11pm update:
Forecast tracks for Madeline have it passing just south or over the Big Island Wednesday night. Of the six main tracking models, earlier ones had four of the six showing the storm center hitting the island, but now the most predictable and one other are shifting to the south. However, the storm is quite large and is now forecast to remain at hurricane strength until it is well past the island chain. The island is still within the "cone of uncertainty".

Lester is predicted by most models to veer to the north of the islands, but that is still a long way off so needs attention. It briefly became a category 4 hurricane today but has weakened slightly but is still a strong cat. 3 hurricane.
