Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Mon, 25 Oct 2010 07:30:00 -0500

Based on data through 1200 UTC October 25 2010.

The upper level low noted on water vapor imagery is about 225 miles west of Honolulu at 2 am. The low has been moving to the northwest around 25 mph over the last six hours. This upper level low continues to bring high clouds over the main Hawaiian islands. The high clouds are thickest from Oahu to the Big Island, but a fair amount of high clouds are passing over Kauai county at 2 am.

The high clouds are obscuring most of the lower clouds over the islands overnight. To the east of the islands, and east of the high clouds, scattered low clouds can be seen moving in from the east between 20 and 25 mph.

The high clouds extend to the south of the islands, where they merge with layered clouds in the ITCZ. Two areas of thunderstorms remain in the ITCZ at 2 am, with the eastern area strengthening and the west area weakening over the last six hours. The eastern area lies along a line from 7.8°N 142.2°W to 7.5°N 153.1°W with tops near 55000 feet. The western area is along a line from 7.5°N 164.4°W to 9.9°N 173.1°W with tops near 52000 feet.

Layered clouds associated with a front northwest of the main Hawaiian islands are about 940 miles northwest of Honolulu at 2 am.
