This satellite image from Sunday afternoon shows three systems: Hurricane Lowell, left, and Post-Tropical Cyclone Karina, center, as they approach the Hawaiian Islands, and Tropical Storm Maria off the coast of Mexico.
A hurricane warning has been issued for Kauai County as Lowell, a weakening Category 3 cyclone, remains on track to pass just west of Niihau on Monday.
The warning also covers Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument from Nihoa to French Frigate Shoals. Kauai and Niihau are also under a tropical storm warning.
The warnings are issued when hurricane conditions are expected somewhere in the warning area within the next 36 hours.
"Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion," the Central Pacific Hurricane Center said.
At 11 p.m. Sunday, Lowell had 115 mph maximum sustained winds and was centered 455 miles southwest of Lihue and 480 miles southwest of Honolulu, moving north-northeast at 10 mph, according to CPHC. Hurricane-force winds extend up to 60 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds extend up to 175 miles

"On the forecast track, the center of Lowell will move across portions of the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument, just west of the main Hawaiian Islands, on Monday night. Lowell is then forecast to turn toward the northwest and slow down by early Wednesday after passing the Hawaiian Islands," forecasters said.
"Gradual weakening is expected through Tuesday. However, Lowell is forecast to remain a hurricane as it passes near the Hawaiian Islands," they said.
>> Wind: Hurricane conditions are possible and tropical storm conditions are expected in Kauai County beginning Monday afternoon or evening. Wind speeds atop and on the windward and leeward sides of hills and mountains are often up to 30 percent stronger than the near-surface winds, and wind gusts to hurricane force are possible. Hurricane conditions are expected in the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument between Nihoa and French Frigate Shoals Monday night, with tropical storm conditions beginning Monday afternoon.
>> Rain: Hurricane Lowell is expected to produce additional rainfall totals of 6 to 10 inches for Kauai, with maximum totals of 14 inches possible. For the Big Island, 4 to 8 inches of rain is expected with isolated totals of 12 inches possible. For Oahu, 4 to 6 inches of rain is expected with isolated totals of 8 inches possible. For Maui, 2 to 4 inches of rain is expected, with isolated maximum totals of 8 inches possible. Across the remaining islands, rainfall of 2 to 4 inches is possible. This rainfall may produce significant flash flooding and mudslides, especially across Kauai county and portions of the Big Island.
>> Storm surge: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide: Kauai County., 1 to 3 feet; Oahu, Up to one foot. The deepest water will occur along the immediate coast near and to the right of the center, where the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Surge-related flooding depends on the relative timing of the surge and the tidal cycle, and can vary greatly over short distances.
