I check the NOAA discussions too. The University Of Hawai'i has a great page that puts together all the info you could ever want about weather here in Hawai'i. Fortunately, the weather here is pretty constant, and the forcasts hold pretty darn well. I'm also taking a intoduction to meterology class this semester, which will help me with that. I'm not gonna be a weather forcaster, but I think part of being prepared is having an idea of what Mother Natures gonna throw at you.
