First rain bands associated with Iselle are just offshore Puna judging from radar and satellite data. Nothing to be concerned about because it's just the sort of rain we're used to here and there's nothing particularly unusual on the radar data, but we should be seeing the first signs of the storm in the next two or three hours. The MKWC forecast has the atmosphere starting to destabilize from around midnight tonight, so think this ties in with those rain bands.
I'm looking at this via http://mkwc.ifa.hawaii.edu/ but they might shut down things tomorrow after issuing an early morning forecast. I believe their computers and one or two staff are now based at the IfA in Hilo, so they may well be affected by whatever Iselle brings.
