HURRICANE LESTER DISCUSSION NUMBER 34
NWS CENTRAL PACIFIC HURRICANE CENTER HONOLULU HI EP132016
500 PM HST THU SEP 01 2016
...Though the official track remains close to the prior advisory, the track has been nudged slightly northward from Friday night and onward, and it remains very close to the TVCN and the operational GFS, while the ECMWF projected track remains to the north.

Lester rapidly re-intensified to a major hurricane today as deep
convection strengthened around a well defined eye. Lester has been
moving over an area of warmer SSTs, and modest southeasterly
vertical wind shear appears to have been enhancing outflow to the
west and north of the cyclone.
