Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 14 Oct 2010 13:30:00 -0500

Based on data through 1800 UTC October 14 2010.

High pressure located far north of Hawaii is producing trade winds near the surface across the tropics and subtropics of the central Pacific. Low clouds are moving 10 to 20 mph across the central Pacific as trade winds push the clouds from east to west. From 140°W to 145°W, broken stratocumulus /sc/ can be found before transitioning to scattered sc and cumulus from 145°W to the dateline between 10°N and 27°N.

An upper level trough identified in the water vapor channel extends from north to south along 150°W. The trough is producing broken mid and upper level cirrus from 16°N to 26°N between 140°W and 145°W.

A stalled frontal boundary located along 30°N extends from east to west between 150°W to 175°W. The boundary is creating broken low and mid level clouds with some embedded showers and isolated thunderstorms between 27°N and 30°N.

Over the islands, skies are clear over land from Oahu to the Big Island this morning with a few exceptions of cloudy skies over the Koolau mts, the mountains over extreme NE Molokai, and the eastern lower slopes of Haleakala. Over Kauai, skies are mostly cloudy over the mountains with partly cloudy skies over the windward coast. The southwest coast has mostly clear skies. Coastal waters around the islands have partly cloudy skies.
