EVENT...TROUGH AND MOISTURE STUCK OVER THE AREA WITH NOWHERE TO GO...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...BIG PICTURE FROM WATER VAPOR SHOWED
UPPER LOW/TROUGH STUCK DOWN NEAR 17N/165W AND SLIGHT DARKENING TO
THE NORTH FEEDING IN.  THIS INSURES TROUGH/LOW STAYING ABOUT STATUS
QUO IN THE SHORT TERM.  AS LONG AS LOW NOT MOVING AWAY AND ABLE TO
PULL UP MID/HIGH LEVEL MOISTURE THAT IS OVER ALREADY DEEP MODERATE
LOW LEVEL PW MOISTURE...WON'T TAKE MUCH FOR LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN
EASTERN ISLANDS ESPECIALLY THR EAST PORTION OF THE BIG ISLAND.  AND ANY
ADDED OROGRAPHIC LIFT...DAYTIME HEATING....SUBTRLE IMPULSE IN SWLY FLOW
ALOFT WITH JUST MAKE IT EASIER TO RAIN EVEN HARDER.  SURFACE HIGH/RIDGE
NORTH OF THE ISLANDS AS PER SSMI WINDS WAS FROM 34N/132W TO 35N/149W
AND WINDS APPEAR TO HAVE STRNGTHENED A BIT COMPARED WITH OVERALL WIND
PATTERN 12-18HRS AGO...AND THIS WOULD ALSO BE AN ADDED ENHANCEMENT FOR
OROGRAPHIC PRECIPITATION.    WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
