Because a hurrican rotates counterclockwise, the winds in the northern band come from the northeast and then the east. So they've been acting like trade winds super-loaded with moisture. From tonight through tomorrow as the eye passes by Kona, the southern part should come with westerly winds to hit Kona. The northern part usually has more moisture though, so they'll probably get much less than Hilo did.
