Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 0000 UTC November 11 2010.

A weak front extended through 30°N 157°W to 28°N 165°W then continued southwest as a weak trough to near 25°N 168°W early this afternoon. The front was actually a warm front that was drifting very slowly northward while the trough was nearly stationary.

The accompanying cloud band was about 85 miles wide and consisted of broken to overcast layered clouds. A few isolated thunderstorms were also embedded along the front and trough.

A large swath of broken to overcast cirrus clouds continued to bulge northward over the islands. The northern edge of the arc of high clouds stretched from 10°N 170°W to 20°N 164°W to 23°N 158°W to 16°N 150°W. The area as a whole was drifting slowly northeastward. High clouds have been traversing the state since around mid morning.

Meanwhile, in the lower atmosphere, some patches and small clusters of scattered to broken low clouds continued to move into the state from the east. The low clouds were moving west near 20 miles an hour. Though the low clouds were mainly located along the windward sections and adjacent eastern waters from the Big Island to Oahu, skies were mostly cloudy over the entire state due to the presence of the cirrus high above.
