EVENT...DEEP MOISTURE STILL HANGING AROUND...WINDS OFFSHORE NOT ALLOWING
RAIN TO MAKE INROADS INLAND...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...DEEP MOISTURE CONTINUES IN PLACE
WITH UPPER LOW/TROUGH TO THE WEST AND SW PROVIDING SWLY FLOW OF MOIST
MID-HIGH LEVEL AIR OVERTOP LOW LEVEL MOISTURE. THERE WAS SOME LOWERING
PW VALUES AS CLOSE AS 145 TO 150W BUT THAT WON'T GET TO THE ISLANDS
ANYTIME SOON.  RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE TO THE NORTH...MAKING OVERALL
LOW LEVEL WIND FLOW STRONGER NOW THAN YESTERDAY (ALTHOUGH THAT DOES
NOT TRANSLATE TO LAND STATIONS ON THE BIG ISLAND) AND WITH LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE AROUND...OROGRAPHIC PRECIP WILL ALSO BE AROUND IN THE SHORT TERM.
THE ONLY PROBLEM RIGHT NOW IS THAT FAST WINDS OVER THE OCEAN NOT MAKING
MUCH INROADS INLAND TO CARRY MOISTURE INLAND OVER INLAND BIG ISLAND
AREAS.  THIS HAS WEAKENED THE RAINFALL REGIME SOMEWHAT PAST FEW HRS.
BUT MICROWAVE STILL SHOWING WNW TO ESE ORIENTED AREA OF SHOWER BANDS
OFFSHORE BIG ISLAND AND IF WINDS CAN STRENGTHEN INLAND...LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE WILL REPENETRATE THE EASTERN HALF OF THE BIG ISLAND AND INCREASE
RAINFALL AGAIN.  WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...
