.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...2222Z AMSU PASS SHOWING HIGHER PW VALUES
OF 1.5" 250 KM..136 NAUTICAL MILES.. E OF THE BIG ISLAND.  GOES VIS/IR
IMAGERY SHOWING WARM TOP CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MOISTURE WITH
AMSU RAIN RATES SHOWING AREAL AVERAGE RAIN RATES OF .15"/HR IN SOME OF
THE MORE ACTIVE CONVECTIVE POCKETS.  WV IMAGERY SHOWING LITTLE MOVEMENT
TO THE UPPER LOW...HOWEVER STILL EXPECTING IT TO CONTINUE TO PULL THE PW
PLUME WWD TOWARDS HI OVERNIGHT WHICH COULD TOUCH OFF SHOWERS WITH POCKETS
OF HEAVIER RAIN CORES GIVEN THE RAIN EFFICIENCY OF THE CONVECTION.  ON THE
SHORTER TERM..VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWING LINE OF CONVECTION DEVELOPING ON
THE OUTER BOUNDARY OF THE CONVECTIVE SHOWERS THAT HUNG JUST OFFSHORE OF
THE BIG ISLAND OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS.  WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOME
OF THESE SHOWERS THREATEN TO BRING POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAINS FOR THE ERN
SHORE OF THE BIG ISLAND OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS THAT MAY HAVE SEEN THE
VERY EDGE OF THE EARLIER CONVECTION.
