dakine, that was really cool. sometimes they matched up well. and sometimes way off. but at least we know that it can work both ways, in our favor, or, be wrong and get a hit we were not prepared for. anyway, thanks for your animation.

We have a coffee shop?

A new one opened in Keauu called the "Coffee Bean". I think there are shadows, tho'.

Dakine, mahalo for your scientific reasoning. The animation was cool, good work. Scientists finally figured this inconvenient problem out after 15 years or more. Reminded me of the bullet hole mystery our scientists atop maunakea finally solved.

Hurricane forecasts aren't perfect (what is?) but they continue to improve over time. If the Central Pacific Hurricane Center forecasts aren't good enough, you can always try that one guy who reads your palm or cards (or the newspaper between customers) at the Hilo Farmer's Market:

Yes, our satellites have changed dramatically since 2005 (along with the rest of our world)... not only has the resolution been bumped up exponentially by new satellites, but the computers we use to analyze that data has also gotten more powerful. Meanwhile, NASA has launched multiple programs to study how hurricanes become weaker (or stronger) over time, the results of which further sharpen the accuracy of our weather models.

So just how much more high-def are our predictions today?

The infrared satellite imagery is currently showing Big Island seriously in the red.

The low at 133W 13N is already showing a spiral shape/eye, forecast 90% chance to develop within 48hours
