Five-day forecast for Tropical Storm Felicia

As expected, Hurricane Felicia has been downgraded to a tropical storm. Due to enter Hawaiian waters sometime Monday night, her winds have weakened to 60 knots. She’s also being torn apart by wind shear:

HURRICANE FELICIA HAS SUFFERED SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH INCREASING VERTICAL WIND SHEAR DURING PAST SEVERAL HOURS. THE LATEST UW/CIMSS WIND SHEAR ANALYSIS INDICATES VALUES OF 257 DEG/21 KT. THE LATEST INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY AND HURRICANE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT
DATA SHOW THE NEGATIVE AFFECTS OF THIS SHEAR.

As Felicia crossed over the 140W meridian, she is now tracked by the Central Pacific Hurricane Center, where you can follow the updates.
