Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Mon, 04 Oct 2010 07:30:00 -0500

Based on data through 1200 UTC October 04 2010.

The upper low west of the islands is near 20.8°N 167.8 at 2 am, about 550 miles west southwest of Kauai. The low has continued to move to the west between 15 and 20 mph over the last six hours.

Low clouds have increased over and upstream of the main Hawaiian islands since sunset. The low clouds upstream of the islands are moving in from the east around 20 mph.

Low clouds are thickest and most plentiful over the Big Island and Maui at 2 am. On the Big Island, low clouds cover most of the north Hilo, south Hilo, Puna and the eastern half of the Kau district. Low clouds extend almost 300 miles east of the Big Island. On Maui, while some clouds are found over the east facing slopes of the west Maui mountains, more clouds are found over the east and southeast facing slopes of Haleakala as an area of clouds moves onshore. These clouds extend to the east and south into the Alenuihaha channel.

Just a few clouds are noted over Kahoolawe and Lanai at 2 am. The area of clouds over the Halawa Valley on Molokai increased a bit since sunset. On Oahu, clouds are concentrated over the Koolau range, but over the last couple of hours, additional clouds have formed over the central valley. As of 2 am, scattered clouds were found over Kauai, but additional clouds were just offshore.
