THE READ — what this desk must decide today

A Friday hurricane approach for Hawaii, rainbands on Mexico's Pacific coast, and afternoon flash-flood storms over New Mexico.

Inter-island and trans-Pacific schedulers are building Friday with a forecast hurricane near the Big Island. Zihuatanejo and Acapulco operations work under rainbands today, and New Mexico's afternoon storms put ground stops and runway water into the plan.
