An upper low is forecast to form later today to the northwest of
the area with a downstream narrow ridge along 150W. This will
allow deep tropical moisture to surge northward across the state
with locally moderate to heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms.
Precipitable water values are forecast to rise to between about 1
1/3 to 1 3/4 inches through the period which is well above average
for late February. Another upper low may form next week just west
of 170W which may pull the precipitable water axis westward next
week, perhaps west of Kauai/Ni'ihau.
