Meteorological history
On the morning of June 6, 1998, the National Weather Service in Honolulu issued a tornado watch for the entire state of Hawaii. While normally the Storm Prediction Center handles watch issuance's, the National Weather Service in Honolulu handles the watch issuance's for the state of Hawaii.

Wind shear around 2,000 J/kg and a moist atmosphere were expected to provide a marginal to slight tornado risk. At 1721, a special marine warning was issued for offshore areas of Kauai County, with a waterspout possible.
