Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:30:00 -0500

Based on data through 1200 UTC October 15 2010.

An upper level trough remains over the islands overnight, bringing high clouds streaming to the northeast on the east side of the trough. Most of these high clouds originate in an area of isolated thunderstorms about 350 miles south of the Big Island.

Little has changed with regards to cloud coverage over the main Hawaiian islands since sunset. Just a few clouds over Kauai, Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe at 2 am. On Oahu, clouds remain focused over the Koolau range. Maui continues to see clouds over the east facing slopes of the west Maui mountains. Additional clouds are concentrated over the east facing slopes of Haleakala, with a few clouds over the remaining slopes of Haleakala.

On the Big Island, clouds continue to be plentiful over the east side of the island from Upolu Point to Cape Kumukahi. Clouds also continue to be found over the Kau and south Kona districts. The high clouds mentioned above are about 130 miles southeast of the Big Island at 2 am.

Just a few clouds are found immediately upstream of the main Hawaiian islands, and they are moving in from the east northeast around 15 miles an hour.
