As of the latest advisory issued by the Central Pacific Hurricane
Center, Hurricane Hector was located approximately 325 miles south
of Honolulu, and moving west at 16 mph. Hector is forecast to make
a gradual turn toward the west-northwest tonight into Fri. As
Hawaii remains on the periphery of the deepest moisture associated
with Hector, localized areas of heavy rainfall will be possible
through Fri and perhaps into early Sat. In the wake of Hector,
expect a resumption of moderate to fresh trades into early next
week with surface high pressure covering much of the north-central
and northeastern Pacific. Models show good agreement on a
mid/upper-level weakness traversing the easterlies in the vicinity
of Hawaii by the early to middle part of next week, with an
associated increase in moisture. Thus, expect an increase in
shower activity by that time, largely but not exclusively focused
in favored windward locations.
