The latest forecast has Lane tracking north and a little closer to the Big Island than the previous forecast, but not close enough to have damaging winds in Puna. Wind shear is the dominant factor right now regarding its strength and when it weakens enough the trade winds should push it westwards. Right now it is still a very powerful Category 4 hurricane.
Expect a lot of rain for the next couple of days as the storm will drag up a lot of moisture from the tropics.
