Note
Primary: NWS CPHC Honolulu / NHC Miami Tropical Storm Lowell Advisory Number 54 and Discussion Number 54 (Forecasters Evans/Kelly), plus TCM and CurrentStorms.
What it is not: a Hawaii main-island landfall; a re-ship of Adv 35–53 or the morning Adv 53 draft; inventing rain/surf totals (Adv 54 lists land hazards None); SWPC; ECDO proof; a frozen live gauge after 1500 UTC.
Why it matters
Official departure card vs morning Adv 53. Cleanup and local NWS products own what remains on shore — the Cat-5 archive rail is memory, not this bulletin.
