.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...SINCE 10Z THERE HAS BEEN A STEADY
COOLING OF CLOUD TOPS AND EXPANDING COVERAGE OF THOSE TOPS BTWN KAUAI
AND OAHU. THE COOLING TOPS ACTUALLY EXTEND FM 100 MI SW OF OAHU/120 MI
S OF KAUAI TO WELL N OF OAHU. AT THE SAME TIME..EARLIER COLD TOPS WHICH
PRODUCED HVY RAIN OVER KAUAI HAVE COOLED. SO..WHAT STLT IMAGERY ANIMATION
HAS BEEN SHOWING IS THAT THE CORE OF THE HEAVIER RAIN HAS BEEN SHIFTING
EWD. ON A LARGER SCALE...WV IMAGERY ANIMATION SHOWS UPPR TROF EXTENDING
FM SW OF THE ISLANDS..WHICH EXTENDS NWWD AND THEN NWD TO THE W AND NW OF
THE ISLANDS. NW-SE JET STREAK FEEDING INTO THE BASE OF THE TROF APPEARS
TO INITIATED VORT CENTER CLOSE TO 20N 160W. THIS..COMBINED WITH SRLY LL
FLOW..IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SWD EXPANSION OF CONVECTION TO VCNTY OF 20N. THE
BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THE LATEST STLT TRENDS INDICATE THAT OAHU
MAY RECEIVE REPEATED ROUNDS OF HVY SHOWERS THIS MORNING. AND...DESPITE
WARMING OF CLOUD TOPS OVER KAUAI..WITH THE BACK EDGE OF THE BAND NOT
MOVING MUCH ATTM..SOME MOD/HVY RAIN MAY CONTINUE THERE AS WELL.
