Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Sat, 09 Oct 2010 19:30:00 -0500

Based on data through 0000 UTC October 10 2010.

Scattered to locally broken low clouds embedded in moderate trade wind flow is the primary provider of cloud coverage over and around the main Hawaiian islands.

Over Kauai patches of low clouds are covering the eastern half of the island while south and west sections are nearly cloud free. Over Oahu patches of low clouds are banked up over the slopes and summits of both the Koolau and Waianae mountain ranges with just a few clouds seen over select leeward locations. Just a few patches of low clouds are seen over eastern and southwestern Molokai while just a few patches of low clouds are seen over interior Lanai. Over Maui patches of low clouds are present over the slopes of Haleakala as well as over the slopes and summits of the west Maui mountains. Over the Big Island low clouds are banked up over the windward slopes from north Kohala southward through the Hilo and Puna districts. Low clouds have also built up over the Kona and Kau slopes.

A bit further upwind of the Big Island lies an area of showery looking clouds that is moving westward at around 20 mph. The leading edge of this area of clouds is presently about 250 miles to the east of Cape Kumukahi.

Active convection is present along the ITCZ from 07°N to 12°N between 140°W and the dateline. Individual thunderstorms are generally moving off toward the west.
