EVENT...SYSTEM TO THE NW CAN'T KICK UPPER LOW OUT DUE TO STRONG RIDGE
TO THE EAST...HEAVY SHOWERY WEATHER TO CONTINUE...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG PICTURE ON WATER AND MICROWAVE LOOPS
SHOWED RIDGE* BTWEEN 145 AND 140W HOLDING STRONG AND EVEN SHARPENING
IN RESPONSE TO TROUGH SWINGING ACROSS S CA AND OFFSHORE WATERS THERE.
THIS HELPING PREVENT UPSTREAM SYSTEM WELL TO THE NW OF THE ISLANDS FROM
KICKING OUT UPPER LOW 24N/160W.  BLENDED TOTAL WATER VAPOR PRODUCT
FROM CIRA AND NESDIS SHOWED MODERATE MOISTURE HANGING AROUND ALL
THE ISLANDS...ESPECIALLY CLOSE TO OLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY NEAR THE BIG
ISLAND AND UPPER LOW NEAR KAUAI.   BLENDED WATER VAPOR ANOMALIES WERE
170 PERCENT OF NORMAL NEAR KAUAI AND THE BIG ISLAND BASED ON CURRENT
MOISTURE COMPARED WITH A CLIMO NORMAL FROM THE NASA WATER VAPOR PROJECT
FROM 1988-1999.  SO LOTS OF INSTABILITY AND MOISTURE HANGING AROUND
WITH GREATEST INSTABILITY THE FURTHER WEST ACROSS THE ISLANDS AND THE
FURTHER EAST CLOSE TO OLD BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY AND QUITE COINCIDENTALLY
THOSE AREAS ARE CLOSES TO THE BEST MOISTURE.  OF IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS
EAST PART/TIP OF THE BIG ISLAND AND MOIST BAND DEVELOPING AS IT DROPS
DOWN OVER KAUAI.  NOAA AMSU RAIN RATES 1618Z WITH RAIN NEAR KAUAI BEFORE
DEVELOPMENT WAS 0.43"/HR AREAL INSTANTANEOUS 16KM RESOLUTION RAIN RATE
AND CLOSE TO 0.50"/HR WITH 15KM SSMI.  AND ON THE E COAST OF THE BIG
ISLAND MAX RAIN RATES WERE 0.32"/HR WITH AMSU AND 0.41"/HR WITH SSMI.
ALL THESE BEFORE FURTHER COOLING/DEVELOPMENT OF RESPECTIVE BANDS NEAR
KAUAI AND THE EAST COAST OF THE BIG ISLAND.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
