If you're checking out that windty link I posted, you can slide it over to the left or east and see all kinds of activity out there in the Pacific.
Storms in the Marshall islands, & looks like a hurricane or typhoon above northwest Japan.

"looks like a hurricane or typhoon above northwest Japan."
Probably Typhon Cimaron... Here's another one of my favorite sites! https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ (just love keeping in touch with the rest of the world)

Just heard on KITV news, Only for our island:
It has officially been downgraded from Hurricane warning to a tropical storm warning. Guess has something to do with the winds affecting our part of the state.

I think for the most part hurricane Lane is pau. I know people might argue this point but its just my opinion based on what I've seen and read. The TV stations and the newspapers are just dramatizing it to the max for whatever reason. The biggest impact is again the east side of the Big Island with major flooding. Period.. I am thankful though for the many opinions and links to information on this topic. It's helped me get through this.

Rainfall totals from: http://www.prh.noaa.gov/data/HFO/RRAHFO Where it is better formatted What I find the most telling about these is the almost complete lack of rain on the leeward side. But equally as interesting the distribution between Puna, Hilo and Hamakua, I wonder if that has anything to do with the elevation differences between the edifices they are on? :Island of Hawaii Inches :ID Location 3-Hr 6-Hr 12-Hr 24-Hr : Windward Sites UPLH1 : Upolu Airport : M / M / M / M KWSH1 : Kawainui Stream (USGS) : 0.59 / 1.73 / 3.79 / 7.93 KUUH1 : Kamuela Upper (15002) : 0.22 / 0.54 / 1.49 / 3.26 KMUH1 : Kamuela (15005) : 0.14 / 0.41 / 1.32 / 3.46 HNKH1 : Honokaa : M / M / M / M PMLH1 : Puu Mali : 1.21 / 2.18 / 4.00 / 6.91 LPHH1 : Laupahoehoe (HI80) : M / M / M / M HKUH1 : Hakalau : 4.03 / 7.08 / 10.65 / 17.50 PPWH1 : Papaikou Well (5070) : M / M / M / M SDQH1 : Saddle Quarry (USGS) : 1.38 / 3.79 / 9.24 / 15.99 PIIH1 : Piihonua (5020) : M / M / M / M WKAH1 : Waiakea Uka (5030) : M / M / M / M WEXH1 : Waiakea Experiment Stn : 0.50 / 2.91 / 6.96 / 19.09 HTO : Hilo Airport : 0.18 / 1.93 / 6.95 / 14.83 PHAH1 : Pahoa (5010) : 0.04 / 1.34 / 2.64 / 6.59 MTVH1 : Mountain View (5000) : M / M / M / M GLNH1 : Glenwood (5040) : 0.59 / 1.41 / 5.90 / 8.97 KNWH1 : Kulani NWR (5050) : 1.81 / 3.01 / 6.72 / 10.56 : Leeward Sites MLBH1 : Mauna Loa Obs Stn : 0.31 / 0.71 / 1.73 / 2.40 KKUH1 : Keaumo : 0.85 / 2.06 / 5.27 / 8.78 KMOH1 : Kealakomo : 0.01 / 0.30 / 1.22 / 1.98 PLIH1 : Pali 2 : 0.12 / 0.75 / 2.35 / 3.44 KPRH1 : Kapapala RAWS : 0.42 / 1.01 / 2.38 / 4.77 KAYH1 : Kapapala Ranch (15003) : 0.66 / 1.26 / 2.55 / 5.15 PPLH1 : Pahala (15004) : 0.25 / 0.91 / 2.36 / 4.12 NENH1 : Nene Cabin : 0.42 / 1.53 / 3.78 / 5.90 SOPH1 : South Point : M / M / M / M LKHH1 : Lower Kahuku : M / M / M / 0.67 KRCH1 : Kahuku Ranch : 0.07 / 0.23 / 0.76 / 1.17 PHRH1 : Puho CS : 0.02 / 0.04 / 0.12 / 0.14 HAUH1 : Honaunau (15007) : 0.03 / 0.07 / 0.20 / 0.23 KLEH1 : Kealakekua (15008) : 0.01 / 0.03 / 0.16 / 0.17 WIHH1 : Waiaha (15009) : 0.01 / 0.02 / 0.16 / 0.16 KHOH1 : Kaloko-Honokohau : 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.09 / 0.09 HKO : Kona International Airport : T / T / 0.09 / 0.13 KIRH1 : Kiholo RG (USGS) : 0.00 / 0.02 / 0.14 / 0.35 KPLH1 : Kaupulehu : 0.00 / 0.02 / 0.14 / 0.26 PULH1 : Puuanahulu : 0.02 / 0.02 / 0.23 / 0.68 PWWH1 : Puu Waawaa : 0.00 / 0.03 / 0.22 / 0.49 PKAH1 : Pohakuloa Kipuka Alala : 0.07 / 0.14 / 0.43 / 1.14 PKWH1 : Pohakuloa West : 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.31 / 0.93 PKMH1 : Pohakuloa Keamuku : 0.04 / 0.05 / 0.30 / 0.74 AHMH1 : Ahumoa : 0.01 / 0.04 / 0.63 / 1.75 WHIH1 : Waikii (HI90) : 0.03 / 0.05 / 0.45 / 1.58 WKVH1 : Waikoloa : 0.04 / 0.04 / 0.22 / 0.50 KWEH1 : Kawaihae : M / M / M / M PERH1 : Puhe CS : 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.00 / 0.02 KHRH1 : Kohala Ranch : 0.02 / 0.03 / 0.18 / 0.71 KASH1 : Kahua Ranch (15006) : 0.19 / 0.49 / 1.13 / 2.38 Kinda graphic that east to west distribution of moisture, yes?

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.

I find it interesting that some of the spaghetti models
https://www.cyclocane.com/lane-spaghetti-models/ now include independent projected paths for a second center that is still southeast of us. And, projected by them to stay to our east.

quote: You mean Invest 95C? "As if the Lane situation weren’t complex enough, a new disturbance about 300 miles to the east developed enough convection and spin on Thursday to be classified as Invest 95C. The disturbance formed along a stream of moisture associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This moisture channel will be directed squarely at the Big Island and Maui on Friday and Saturday, and 95C will likely move west-northwest along it toward the islands. If 95C strengthens enough, the spin associated with it could interact with Lane and the higher terrain of the islands in such a way as to raise the odds of Lane’s moving toward Maui and merging with 95C. Such an interplay would be so unusual and complicated that we can’t expect forecast models to nail it with precision. More likely, 95C's main role will be to deliver an additional slug of moisture to an area that doesn’t need it..." |
