Yet another wet weekend?

Hark, blue skies beckon ...for the moment.

No dramatic changes in the forecast for Oho. Peak intensity forecast down to just below hurricane strength. Recent forecast tracks are a little further away to the east than initial forecast tracks.

Currently a whole lotta moisture east of the state, extending for hundreds of miles north to south (As of 12 pm satellite imagery). - http://weather.hawaii.edu/satellite/still.cgi?res=4km&chnl=ir&domain=nep&anim=no&size=large&thumbs=&banner=uhmet&satplat=goeswest&overlay=off

Oho made it to hurricane strength. Still S.E. of Big Island, though the NWS was confident enough in it's forecast track to dismiss it is a threat to the state of Hawaii in it's 5 A.M. discussion.

"THE FINAL AIRCRAFT MISSION BY THE U.S. 53RD WEATHER RECONNAISSANCE
SQUADRON THAT WAS SCHEDULED FOR THIS MORNING HAS BEEN CANCELED SINCE
OHO NO LONGER APPEARS TO BE A VIABLE THREAT TO THE MAIN HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS."
