LOCATION...HAWAII...

ATTN WFOS...HFO...
ATTN RFCS...AKRFC...
.
EVENT...LITTLE MORE DRYING OUT...BUT INSTABILITY AND OROGRAPHIC LIFT
STILL ALLOWED LOCAL HVY PRECIP ON OAHU...MAUI...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...DRYING/LOWER PW VALUES WE HAVE BEEN
SEEING FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS WORKING SLOWLY WEST* NEAR OF SOUTH OF 20N
FINALLY STARTING TO FILTER IN AND THIS HAS ALLOWED BIG ISLAND TO HAVE
SUPPRESSED PRECIP DESPITE UPPER PATTERN SIMILAR TO THE PAST FEW DAYS.
BIG DIFFERENCE TODAY IS THAT UPPER TROUGH CLOSER TO CENTRAL ISLANDS
(UPPER SHORT WAVE/LOW NEAR 17,5N/160W) AND COMBO OF COOL AIR ALOFT
RESUKTING IN INSTABILITY AND SOLAR RADIATION MAKING FOR MORE INSTABILITY
ON TOP OF OROGRAPHIC LIFT ALLOWING FOR SHOWERS...SOME HEAVY ON WINDWARD
SIDES OF OAHU AND MAUI...BUT ESPECIALLY CAN SEE ON OAHU AS CIRRUS DEBRIS
NOT PREVALENT.  NEAR STATIONARY OF SE TO NW CONVECTIVE BAND MAKING FOR
ISOLATED HIGH AMOUNTS OVER A SHORT TIME.   WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR...

SEE NCEP HPC DISCUSSION AND QPF/S FOR FORECAST.
