SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...LAST COUPLE OF GOES VIS IMAGES SHOWING
A MESO VORT EMERGE FROM THE CONVECTION THAT HAS NOW DIED OFF E OF THE
BIG ISLAND.  VORT LOOKS TO BE SPAWNING CONVECTION AROUND IT AND BRINGING
IT TO THE W AS IT EVER SO SLOWLY MOVES WEST.  VORT LOCATED ABOUT 240 KM
(155 MILES) E OF THE BIG ISLAND MOVING W AT ABOUT 25-30 KPH (15-18 MPH).
WHILE THE SPEED IS NOT TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE...VORT COULD STILL ADD TO
SOME CONVECTIVE ENHANCEMENT IF IT HOLDS TOGETHER AND REACHES THE ISLAND
TERRAIN GIVEN PW VALUES AROUND 1.5" PER GOES SOUNDER/0Z RAOB.
