Radio Script for Maui TV News on KAOI Radio - January 9, 2009

FROM THE VISIONARY RADIO NEWS CENTER, I'M JEFF KING WITH MAUI TV NEWS.

WITH ANOTHER STORM IN THE FORECAST FOR SATURDAY - EAST MAUI IS STILL DRYING OUT FROM THE LAST DRENCHING. NEW NUMBERS FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TODAY SHOW HOW WET IT GOT. OHEO GULCH RECEIVED NEARLY 22 INCHES OF RAIN IN DECEMBER. BUT THE GAGE KAUPO GAP RECORDED 34 AND A HALF INCHES OF RAIN. FOR THE YEAR, THE WETTEST SPOT ON MAUI - PU'U KUKUI - RECEIVED MORE THAN 210 INCHES OF RAIN - BUT EVEN THAT WAS BARELY MORE THAN HALF OF WHAT A NORMAL YEAR SHOULD BE.

IT'S DRY ENOUGH THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES HAS REOPENED THE ROAD INTO THE KULA RESERVE. THE STRETCH FROM THE CEMENT CROSSING TO POLIPOLI STATE PARK HAS BEEN FILLED IN BUT IT'S STILL MUDDY AND ONLY FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED.

ISLAND WEATHER - CLOUDS ARE BUILDING IN ADVANCE OF A COLD FRONT EXPECTED TO REACH MAUI LATE TOMORROW. TONIGHT, MOSTLY CLOUDY WITH A LOW NEAR 60. SCATTERED SHOWERS TOMORROW WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S.
