EVENT...NOT A WHOLE LOT HAS CHANGED...STATIONARY COOL TOP ANCHORED KAUAI
AND ALSO E PART OF BIG ISLAND...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...PATTERN OF MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY HAS
NOT CHANGED MUCH FROM EARLIER MESSAGE.  DRY/RELATIVE PW MIN JUST SOUTH OF
KAUAI ON MICROWAVE BUT HAVING NO EFFECT WITH ANCHORED CONVECTIVE COMPLEX
CENTRAL KAUAI WITH COOL TOP ANVIL TO THE NORTHEAST.  COOLING TO -54C
WITH OVERSHOOTING TOP AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT MAKING FOR VERY HVY RAIN OVER
A SMALL AREA.  BUT THAT WOULD FOCUS EXCESSIVE RAIN THERE. RENEWED COOLING
MAKES IT POSSIBLE THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR ANOTHER FEW HRS AT CURRENT STATE.
NOT MUCH CHANGE WITH E PART OF BIG ISLAND AS COOLING ANVIL LARGER AND
AREAL EXTENT OF HVY BIGGER.  AS RESULT FOCUS OF EXCESSIVE SMALL BUT
BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN RAINING HARD THE PAST 2 DAYS...FF CONDITIONS WILL
PROBABLY GET WORSE BEFORE THEY GET BETTER.  AND NOTHING ON THE SHORT
TERM HORIZON TO WEAKEN THE HVY RAIN PATTERN IN PLACE SINCE YESTERDAY.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
