Statement as of 7:07 AM HST on January 15, 2009
A high wind watch remains in effect from 6 PM HST this evening
through Friday afternoon.
Winds on Kauai and Oahu will gradually increase today... with wind
gusts of 50 to 60 mph possible tonight and Friday. The strongest
wind gusts are expected over the high terrain and across
communities north and east of high terrain.
A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous
high wind event. Sustained winds of at least 40 mph... or gusts of
58 mph are possible... but not yet certain. Continue to monitor
the latest forecasts.
You can see the chaff on the Doppler radar. The fuzzy green area south of Kauai is sea spray caused by winds.

so far so good. It is not quite 11 pm Thursday, and there is only a breeze in Foster Village near Aloha Stadium. No strong wind yet.
I wonder if the company scheduled to remove my tree stumps tomorrow will postpone the job.
It's been breezy all along and seems to be picking up a little now. My friends at Civil Defense said we should be feeling it around midnight.
I woke up with a pounding headache a few minutes ago. The is a solid, gusty wind whipping around now. Not much rain yet.
It is past 7:30 am Friday. No wind. But it rained last night and still looks overcast.
The crew will come here to remove my tree stumps as scheduled.
Hope it all works out and your stumps are finally gone!
