EVENT...REMAINS OF TS ELIDA MAY AFFECT SRN TIP OF BIG ISLAND
.
SATELLITE ANALYSIS AND TRENDS...THOUGH NOT EXPECTED TO REDVLP..MOVEMENT
OF THE FORMER TS ELIDA WILL TAKE A LARGE POOL OF TROPICAL MOISTURE ACROSS
THE SE/SRN PARTS OF THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII DURING THE NEXT 2-3 HRS
PRODUCING SHOWERS AND POSSIBLY SOME LOCALLY HVY RAINFALL WHEN ACCOUNTING
FOR OROGRAPHIC EFFECTS. LOOP OF LOW LVL MOISTURE OVER THE PACIFIC SHOWS
THE STEADY WWD PROGRESSION OF THE REMNANTS OF ELIDA WITH 00Z AMSU PASS
INDICATING THAT 2-2.2" PW'S ARE CURRENTLY PASSING ABOUT 30KM S OF THE
TIP OF THE ISLAND. APPEARS AS THOUGH PW'S OF AT LEAST 1.75-1.9" WILL
BE CROSSING THE SRN THIRD OF THE BIG ISLAND THOUGH..AND THIS SHOULD BE
PLENTY TO ALLOW FOR SOME LOCALLY MOD-HVY RAINS. AMSU PASS SHOWED AREAL
AVG 0.5"/HR RATES APPROX 60KM S OF THE ISLAND AND DUE E OF THE SRN TIP
AREAL AVG RATES OF .1-.2"/HR ARE SHOWN. TRMM PASS AT 1537Z SHOWED SOME
AREAL AVG RATES AT THAT TIME OF 0.4-0.6"/HR THAT COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY
AFFECTED THE SRN PORTION OF THE ISLAND BUT THAT CNVTN DIED OUT AWHILE
AGO. LOOKING AT VIS/IR THERE REALLY ONLY APPEARS TO BE A SMALL SECTION
OF THE NRN MOST CNVTN THAT WILL COME ASHORE ON THE BIG ISLAND..IS MOVING
QUICKLY..AND DOES NOT LOOK VERY IMPRESSIVE..BUT SHOULD ALLOW FOR SOME
MOD-HVY SHOWERS IN NEXT FEW HRS.
