Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:30:00 -0500

Based on data through 0500 UTC November 05 2010.

The weak tail end of a frontal cloud band Sat far east of the state this evening. The southern edge of the diffuse and decaying cloud band stretched through 24°N 140°W to 21°N 150°W. The band was drifting very slowly southward.

A somewhat detached and segmented, remnant part of the frontal band further west extended from near the Big Island to 17°N 170°W to 17°N 180°E. This remnant cloud band consisted of mostly broken, showery cumulus clouds. The remnant cloud band was nearly stationary while the clouds within it were flowing quickly westward with the trade winds.

The region between the two aforementioned cloud bands and 30°N latitude contained numerous patches and clusters of mostly broken low clouds. The low clouds in the vicinity of the islands were moving west-southwest at 25 to 30 miles an hour. At 7 pm, the cloudiest parts of the state were Maui county and Oahu. The Big Island and Kauai had fewer clouds overhead.

Isolated thunderstorms with tops up to 45000 feet were forming 06°N and 10°N between 150°W and 158°W. This area of thunderstorms was migrating west near 15 miles an hour.
