**Reminder: The "cone" map only shows where the storm CENTER may go, it does not show the size or intensity of the storm. The cone gets bigger because on average models are off from what really happens by a certain number of miles more each day out.**

Large waves will accompany Madeline and later on likely larger from Lester as they near Hawaii. Safe bet surfers won't be showing up for work much this week there...

Safe bet that work will be canceled on all islands south of Oahu.
