EVENT...CELL STILL ANCHORED ON KAUAI...SHORT WAVE APPROACHING THE BIG
ISLAND...COOLING TOPS ON OAHU...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...ANCHORED COOL TOP CONVECTION ON KAUAI
ONLY WEAKENED A BIT WITH ANVIL BLOWOFF...BUT MAIN CELL OVER CENTER OF
KAUAI STILL EFFECTIVE PRODUCING VERY EFFICIENT HVY RAINFALL.  SEE NOTHING
TO KICK IT OUT ANYTIME SOON...EXCEPT MAYBE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING.
STATUS QUO FOR THE BIG ISLAND BUT WIDENING THE VIEW ONE CAN SEE SOME
TYPE OF UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE COMING NORTH THAT BELIEVE IT OR NOT COULD
HELP ENHANCE RAINFALL EVEN MORE OVER THE ISLAND AND SPILL A LITTLE MORE
HEAVY ACTIVITY INTO MAUI.  STILL SEE EROSION OF DEEP MOISTURE WELL TO
THE EAST...SO MOISTURE NOT DECREASING...SO PRETTY MUCH STATUS QUO ON
THE BIG ISLAND.  WITH HIGHER MOISTURE WORKING THRU THE CENTRAL ISLANDS
ALSO SEEING CLOUD TOPS COOLING CENTRAL PART OF OAHU AND WOULD EXPECT
LOCALIZED HVY RAIN BURSTS THERE WITH HEIGHTENED FF THREAT.
WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...SEE GRAPHICAL PRODUCT ON HOME PAGE AT ADDRESS
