You know, no joke. Honestly, Daniel is doing just about exactly what I expected him to do (fall apart to a weak depression or even remnant low, and then hit those higher ssts and potentially lower shear within a day or two of Hawaii and regenerate.)

I see they are forecasting surface winds of 6MPH on the Big Island, and 31MPH at 13,000 feet.

Going out on a limb, they are.
