SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...1525Z AMSU 16KM AREAL AVERAGE
INSTANTANEOUS MAX RAIN RATES OF 0.80"/HR WERE BETWEEN OAHU AND THE
CENTRAL ISLANDS AND NOW HEADING ACROSS MOLAKAI AND LANAI AND ON THEIR WAY
PROBABLY TO MAUI. PW MOIST BAND THAT OVERTOOK THE BIG ISLAND OVERNIGHT
NOW MERGING WITH FRONTAL BAROCLINIC PW PLUME MOISTURE OVER CENTRAL
ISLANDS FOR CONTINUED HVY RAIN THREAT NEXT SEVERAL HRS.  WOULD EXPECT
SOME SLOWING OF FRONTAL BAND THAT COULD FURTHER ENHANCE RAINFALL WITH
FRONT ESPECIALLY OROGRAPHIC LIFT AREAS.  DRY AIR/LOWER PW VALUES TRYING
TO MAKE INROADS SW OF OAHU AND KAUAI...BUT MAY NOT HAVE NOT ENOUGH PUSH
TO KEEP MOVING FRONT EAST AS QUICKLY AS PAST SEVERAL HRS.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
