EVENT...TROUGH HAS MOVED OVER TO MAUI WITH A WEAK CIRCULATION TO THE
SOUTH...AREA OF CONCERN FOR TODAY ON THE BIG ISLAND...
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...UPPER TROUGH HAS CONTINUED EAST ON
WATER VAPOR AND WITH IT A WEAK CIRCULATION HAD FORMED NEAR 18N/159W.
THIS ALLOWING DEEP PW MOISTURE TO CONTINUE TO FORMED BACK TO THE WEST
ACROSS THE BIG ISLAND AND WITH INCREASE OF AREAL EXTENT OF FASTER
WINDS JUST EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND AS PER LATEST SSMI DATA...CAN EXPECT
SHOWERS TO BE PREVALENT MOST OF THE DAY.   PW VALUES ALONG BIG ISLAND
COAST NEAR 1.4" AS PER 08Z AMSU DATA...BUT AS HIGH AS 1.6" ABOUT 100
MILES EAST OF HILO.  SO NEARNESS OF TROUGH JUST TO THE WEST AND HIGHER
MOISTURE TO THE EAST ALONG WITH DECENT OROGRAPHIC FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR HVY
RAINFALL WITH SHOWER BURST MOSTLY INTO THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE ISLAND.
