Well, it looks like all attempts to coerce that buggah into being a run for your life the big one is coming kine storm have fizzled out into well hopefully we'll get something, anything, even a few drops to feed our dried out turning to dust tropical rainforest.. and yet I can't resist noting that the NWS, in yesterday's 5pm discussion even threw the Maunas an honorable mention. Imagine that. I mean, after the years of being told (right here on PW) our terrain is insignificant, and still insisting that our mountains are hurricane killers, and severely effect the steering of any storm that waddles into our vicinity, it's pretty cool when they say..

Where in part it reads..
The official forecast track is near the HCCA consensus and essentially unchanged from the previous advisory. However, a track slightly to the left of the official forecast would bring Kiko closer to the Big Island. Historically, cyclones approaching the Big Island from the east can slow and deflect northward as the island terrain disrupts the low-level flow and alters the steering currents.
Fun...
