Norman Expected to Move Away from Hawaii

As of Wednesday afternoon, Norman remains a major hurricane and continues to push to the west at 8 mph. The good news for the Hawaiian Islands is Norman is expected to make a northwestern turn and move away from Hawaii within the next couple of days. There still will be some indirect impacts for some parts of the islands. A High Surf Advisory is in effect through 6 AM HST for east facing shores of the Big Island and Maui. https://www.facebook.com/WeatherNation/videos/289221605193732/ There's also a Hurricane Warning in effect for Hawaiian offshore waters beyond 40 nautical miles out to 240 nautical miles including the portion of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument east of French Frigate Shoals.
