11:00am Update - FYI: Tropical Storm Watch Issued
(*Snipped - More at link)
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/26167...rn-pacific
A tropical storm watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible on the Big Island within 48 hours
At 11 a.m. Iselle was located about 1,000 miles east of Hilo and was moving west-northwest at 9 miles per hour.
The latest forecast track from the National Hurricane Center brings Iselle to the Big Island as a tropical storm on Thursday. The outer fringes of the storm may be felt in the Puna District as early as noon Thursday. The center of the storm is forecast to come ashore near Hilo about 6:00 P.M. that day. A tropical storm can have winds from 39-74 mph.
I very much appreciate all you Punawebbers who post updates and storm analysis. I feel privileged to know a site with so much quality information and people with a superior grasp of meteorology.

And Iselle is now handed over to the Pacific Region Hurricane Center, with the 11am discussion showing the marked weakening noted earlier with the degradation of the eye and the annular formation due to shear HOWEVER there is a noted NW movement with the expectation that this one can strengthen again...
So do not give up battening the hatches just yet!

Historically, hurricanes start to break up as they approach Hawaii island, then splitting or going around the island, recombining on the other side and dumping on Oahu and Kauai. Looks like the same thing happening and it looks like Iselle landfall will be more to the north. There will probably be heavy rains though.

"Looks like the same thing happening and it looks like Iselle landfall will be more to the north." PT seems to live in an alternate universe from the one the rest of us live in.
I just checked the latest tracking data and Iselle is supposed to make land fall at Kapoho and then go straight across the Island. Julio is currently projected to turn to the North, but it is way early to tell what is happening with it.
The pool of cooler water that usually is piled up against the windward side of the island chain is not as cold, and doesn't push as far to the East, as is normal. That cold water is what makes our storms fall apart when they get near, but this time that will be less of a factor.

Look at this image from today(05:30 pm PDT, Tue 05 Aug 2014)at this link:

As you look at this image, focus on the eye of Iselle, and you can see that it is losing its eye and that it is visibly diminishing.
You can also see radial arms (thin straight lines leaving the outer circumference of Iselle) that are projecting away from the outer circumference and towards the BI-
This is geo engineering pure and observable on this frame 05:30 pm PDT, Tue 05 Aug 2014, whereas the earlier frames 01:30 pm PDT, Tue 05 Aug 2014 and this frame 03:30 pm PDT, Tue 05 Aug 2014, do not show this occurrence.
And the most recent frame (07:30 pm PDT, Mon 04 Aug 2014) shows how those radial line have disappeared almost completely

Boy if they could diminish hurricanes through seeding or chemtrails or micro-sprayers or whatever, I'd make my happier than poo. If true why didn't kill the last three hurricanes I suffered through?

The 5pm discussion (BTW these are released a little after 11 & 5 (AM & PM) so anyone can go to the home & look at the newest, esp when I am whacking potential phone line crashers) show continued shear disintegration of Iselle, but the storm has gained speed heading NW (towards us)
