Hurricane Guillermo continues to progress towards the Hawaiian Islands.  
Current track has the storm approaching off the windward coasts of the 
island approximately 20-30 miles off shore.

Do not concentrate on the center of the storm.  The effects can be felt 
well away from the center of the storm.

High surf will continue to build and be experienced on the eastern 
exposed shores and likely to be large and potentially life threatening 
starting Monday.

Continue with your preparations.  Prepare for HF operations as well as 
VHF and UHF operations.  Be prepared to relay messages for stations in 
the affected areas.  Be prepared for disruptions in power and commercial 
communications.  Have a battery powered broadcast radio ready to receive 
the latest official announcements.
