Orographic & Foehn Compression Alert: Volcanic mass of Mauna Kea (13,796 ft) & Mauna Loa (13,678 ft) bisects Hurricane Lala's boundary layer. Extreme orographic lift triggers intense moisture dumping in Hilo & Puna (18.4 in), while forced downslope adiabatic compression creates violent dry gusts in leeward Kona & Kohala (112 mph).
