Tropical storm conditions are expected from French Frigate Shoals to Maro Reef Tuesday and Tuesday night. Tropical storm conditions are possible from Maro Reef to Lisianski Tuesday night and Wednesday.
SURF: Large swells generated by Douglas will impact a large swath of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument the next couple of days. These swells will produce large breaking waves that could inundate some of the lower-lying atolls.
RAINFALL: Rainfall associated with Douglas will impact portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument over the next couple of days.
