Based on data through 0500 UTC January 02 2011.

A north northeast to south southwest oriented trough is about 250 miles west of Kauai this evening. Water vapor imagery shows an upper level low has formed along the trough near 20.9°N 164.3°W, about 300 miles west southwest of the garden isle. The upper trough is sending high clouds over the main Hawaiian islands from the southwest. The high clouds are thickest over the western islands, and thinnest over Maui and the Big Island.

The high clouds mentioned above are obscuring lower clouds over Niihau and Kauai, and partially obscuring low clouds over Oahu, Lanai and Molokai. Through thin spots in the high clouds in the last visible image animation of the day, low clouds on Oahu appear to be confined to the southern half of the Koolau mountain range. Scattered low clouds appear to be over the Halawa Valley on Molokai, and the interior of Lanai.

On Maui, scattered low clouds are found over the west Maui mountains, and over the lower slopes of Haleakala. The skies over Kahoolawe appear to cloud free except for the occasional high clouds streaming overhead. The high clouds reaching the Big Island do make it difficult to discern lower clouds this evening. Through animation and thin spots in the high clouds, low clouds appear to be located over the southeast facing slopes of the Kau district, and over the west facing slopes of the north Kona and south Kona districts, with scattered low clouds over the remaining lower slopes.

Low clouds east of the Big Island are moving from the east between 15 and 20 mph.

Thunderstorms are noted in an area about 350 miles southwest of the Big Island, centered near 13°N 159°W. Cloud tops in the area are reaching near 43 thousand feet.

Based on data through 1800 UTC January 01 2011.

A north northeast to south southwest oriented upper level trough is noted on water vapor imagery, about 385 miles northwest of Kauai at 7 am HST. It continues to push east southeast at 15 mph. The trough axis lies along a line from 37°N 155°W to 30°N 163°W to 19°N 168°W, and extends further north into the Aleutian islands.

A 95 mph northerly jet Max is located just to the west of trough axis, while lighter south to southwest winds of 30 mph lies to the east of the trough that include the Hawaiian islands.

The cloud cover over the main Hawaiian islands consisted of a 100 mile wide band of overcast mid and high clouds, covering Kauai county and the western half of the Kauai channel. This band formed as it was approaching Kauai during the past 6 hours, and is now advancing towards Oahu. The central islands, consisting of Oahu and Maui counties, has a patch of broken to overcast low clouds. The low clouds included isolated towering cumulus and even a cumulonimbus cloud /cb/, located off the northernmost tip of Oahu in the past hour.

With all these clouds, the weather radar is painting widely scattered showers, affecting the windward sections of Oahu and Molokai. The weather radar loop indicates a cyclonic vortex located over the north end of the Molokai channel, which has become less distinctive in the past hour.

In the area within 800 miles east of the upper trough, south of 30°N, the cloud cover is generally made up of broken cumulus type clouds.

The low level wind pattern is confusing. Satellite loop shows an easterly wind flow over the Big Island and Maui, and southeast winds over the open waters to the northeast and north of Maui. Wind sensors and radar loop are indicating a light northerly wind component over Kauai and Oahu.

Elsewhere, further away from the main Hawaiian islands, a cluster of thunderstorms is located between 300 and 500 miles southwest of Kauai, and is associated with a low level trough. Eight hundred miles northwest of Kauai is an area of broken to overcast mid and high level clouds. These clouds are dissipating as they approach the upper level trough.

Loose CB activity is noted between 350 and 800 miles south of the Big Island, or, from 14°N to 07°N.

Based on data through 1200 UTC January 01 2011.

A north northeast to south southwest oriented upper level trough is noted on water vapor imagery, about 450 miles northwest of Kauai at 2 am. The trough axis lies along a line from 35.0°N 159.8°W to 20.4°N 168.9°W. The upper level low associated with this trough is more than 1700 miles north of Kauai overnight. Water vapor imagery also shows an upper low more than 2000 miles northeast of the islands near 42.5°N 133.6°W. High clouds are passing over the islands as the result of these upper level systems.

The system to the northwest of the islands has layered clouds with the leading edge of clouds about 200 miles northwest of Kauai at 2 am. Embedded thunderstorms with tops near 38000 feet are noted within the layered clouds, primarily north of 25°N.

The high clouds passing over the main Hawaiian islands mentioned above are obscuring lower clouds over the islands overnight. The high clouds are moving over the islands from west to east. Through thin spots in the high clouds, low clouds east of the Big Island are seen moving in from the east around 15 mph, while low cloud movement near Kauai is difficult to discern.

Isolated thunderstorms are noted near 17.4°N 161.7°W, 19.5°N 163.5°W, 22.1°N 164.9°W and 24.1°N 165.0°W. These four areas have thunderstorm tops reaching between 35000 and 40000 feet. These areas are between 300 and 350 miles from the main Hawaiian islands.

Additional thunderstorms are noted in the ITCZ south of the islands along a line from 7.0°N 162.9°W to 9.4°N 158.2°W with tops near 47000 feet.

Fri, 31 Dec 2010 23:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 0500 UTC January 01 2011.

Water vapor shows a north northeast to south southwest oriented upper level trough about 675 miles northwest of Kauai at 7 pm. Layered clouds along the east side of the trough have embedded thunderstorms with tops reaching near 45000 feet. The leading edge of these layered clouds are about 335 miles northwest of Kauai this evening. High clouds are passing over the central islands in the upper level wind flow. These high clouds extend more than 1000 miles to the northeast of the islands.

The last visible images of the day shows just a few clouds over Kauai and Niihau. Broken clouds are found over the Koolau and Waianae ranges, with a few clouds elsewhere over Oahu. Scattered low clouds are found over Molokai and Lanai, with skies cloud free over Kahoolawe. Several areas of clouds were noted over Maui, over the east facing slopes of the west Maui mountains, and over the lower slopes of Haleakala. On the Big Island, .clouds were plentiful over the lower slopes from Honokaa to Cape Kumukahi to South Point to Waikoloa Village.

Low clouds near the Big Island are moving from the east around 15 mph. Near Kauai, low clouds are moving from the south between 10 and 15 mph.

Isolated thunderstorms are noted in two areas of the ITCZ far south of the islands this evening. The first area is near 8.4°N 151.8°W with tops near 44000 feet. The second area is near 7.5°N 160.2°W with tops near 42000 feet.

Based on data through 0000 UTC January 01 2011.

Water vapor imagery shows an upper level trough far northwest of the main Hawaiian islands near 29°N 173°W, or about 400 miles east northeast of Midway atoll. This trough is moving east at 30 mph and is bringing a 500 to 700 mile wide swath of mid and high layered clouds to areas east of the trough axis, as far south as 25°N. There are isolated embedded thunderstorms located within 100 miles either side of a line from 30°N 163°W to 26°N 167°W, with cloud tops up to 45000 feet.

Another upper level trough is located about 700 miles north northeast of the main Hawaiian islands. This trough is moving slowly to the east and the associated flow around the trough is bringing a band of widespread high clouds to the area from just northeast of the islands of Oahu and Maui off to the northeast covering much of the area north of 28°N east of 152°W. These higher clouds are separated from the lower level stratocumulus by a dry stable layer.

A nearly stationary upper level low is centered about 750 miles south southwest of Honolulu. An isolated thunderstorm is on the north side of the low, near 12°N 164°W, but a larger area of thunderstorms with tops over 50000 feet is just south of 10°N along the intertropical convergence zone between 151°W and 158°W. These storms appear to be getting some added lift from the upper jet rounding the south and east side of the upper low.

Over the main Hawaiian islands, a somewhat typical trade wind cloud pattern exists, with broken low clouds hugging the lower windward slopes and windward coast of the Big Island. There are also broken low clouds along the lower Kona slopes from 10 miles northeast of Keahole Point to near Milolii. Over the other islands, broken low clouds are confined to the Haleakala slopes, Lanai, the west Maui mountains, the windward tip of Molokai and Oahu from the Koolau mountain crest east to the windward coast. Broken low clouds are also over the windward coastal waters of Maui and Oahu. Low cloud tops across the islands range from 5000 to 7000 feet. Cloud movement free from terrain is to the west northwest at near 20 mph.

Based on data through 1800 UTC December 31 2010.

Water vapor imagery shows an upper level trough far northwest of the main Hawaiian islands near 29°N 175°W, or about 300 miles east northeast of Midway atoll. This trough is moving east at 30 mph and is bringing a 500 to 700 mile wide swath of mid and high layered clouds. There are isolated embedded thunderstorms located within 500 miles east of the trough axis, with cloud tops up to 45000 feet.

Another upper level trough is located about 700 miles north of the main Hawaiian islands. This trough is moving slowly to the east and the associated flow around the trough is bringing a band of widespread high clouds to the area from near Oahu and Kauai northeast covering much of the area north of 26°N east of 165°W. These high clouds are separated from the lower level stratocumulus by a dry stable layer.

An upper level low is centered about 800 miles south southwest of Honolulu, moving slowly northwest. A few patches of mid and high clouds are found within 300 miles of the upper low, but a more significant area of thunderstorms with tops over 50000 feet is just south of 10°N along the intertropical convergence zone between 153°W and 158°W. These storms appear to be getting some added lift from the upper jet rounding the south and east side of the upper low.

Over the main Hawaiian islands, there are broken to overcast low topped stratocumulus clouds covering the windward coastal waters of all islands, as well as the main channels. The low clouds scatter out over the leeward coastal waters. Broken low clouds covers the windward slopes and coasts of the smaller islands from Kauai to Maui and are over the coasts and up to 5 miles inland over the Big Island from Laupahoehoe to Hilo to the Volcano area to South Point to south Kona district on the leeward side of the island. Low cloud tops across the islands range from 5000 to 7000 feet. Some mid to high level clouds are also skirting the islands from northern Oahu across Kauai channel and covering much of Kauai. These clouds are separate from the lower clouds. Low cloud movement free from terrain is to the west at near 25 mph.

Thu, 30 Dec 2010 23:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 0500 UTC December 31 2010.

To the northwest, a pair of slowly dissipating cloud bands associated with weakening fronts extended across Hawaiian waters. The more substantial band of deep layered clouds was located within 200 miles of the curve from 27°N 180 to 30°N 175°W and further southwest and northeast. The more broken-up band of low to middle cloud layers and stratocumulus fragments was located within 60 miles of the curve from 18°N 180°W to 26°N 172°W to 30°N 158°W and further west and northeast. High and low layers of the northernmost band moved in opposite directions, while the southernmost band shifted northwest slowly.

To the south, there was little thunderstorm activity to mark an ITCZ. Layered low to middle debris clouds from earlier convection mostly obscured lower features between 11°N and 01°N. However, isolated thunderstorms associated with a trough of low pressure developed within 60 miles of the point 08°N 158°W, and their deep layered debris clouds obscured lower features within the area bounded by the curve from 13°N 158°W to 09°N 147°W to 04°N 161°W to 07°N 173°W to 13°N 166°W.

Middle to high cloud layers forming in association with a weak trough of low pressure in the middle atmosphere obscured lower features north of the curve from 30°N 165°W to 19°N 170°W to 25°N 149°W to 20°N 140°W.

Lower in the atmosphere, a layer of marine stratus moving in from the northeast broke up into fragments and bands of marine cumulus and stratocumulus in the corner north of 13°N and east of 166°W. These clouds generally moved toward the west southwest at 15 to 20 miles an hour, and rose to heights of 6000 to 9000 feet, though a few towering cumuli along the southwest edge of this area approached 20000 feet.

Across the main Hawaiian islands, high to middle cloud layers obscured lower features mostly over Kauai county, and partly over Oahu and Molokai. Where they were visible, lower clouds consisted about equally of marine cumuli and stratocumuli moving ashore along slopes facing east and layered debris clouds from afternoon cumulus buildups over higher terrain. Banding in the stratocumuli over Oahu parallel to the Koolau range implied the presence of turbulence within that layer. Areas with the greatest cloud cover included east-central Kauai, northeast Oahu, the west Maui mountains, northwest middle slopes of Haleakala on Maui, and most lower to middle slopes of the Big Island except in the Kau desert region. These lower clouds generally rose to heights of 5000 to 7000 feet. Radar data from near the islands showed scattered showers offshore well to the southeast of the Big Island, but isolated showers at most elsewhere.

Based on data through 0000 UTC December 31 2010.

A complex weather pattern continues over the region, while high pressure at the surface and aloft over and east of the main Hawaiian islands has ushered in a trade wind flow.

A nearly zonal, or west to east flowing, jet stream is racing across the western Pacific roughly along 30°N, then abruptly turns to the northeast near 160°W as it slams into an upper level ridge established along 140°W. At the base of the upper ridge, a center of high pressure aloft is parked 675 miles east of the Big Island near 21°N 145°W. Meanwhile, a nearly stationary upper level low is centered nearly 1000 miles southwest of Oahu at 12°N 170°W.

A trade wind flow is established over all of the main Hawaiian islands as the upper high east of the state and associated surface high pressure exert a greater influence and the upper low to the southwest weakens and fills. Mainly scattered low clouds near the islands are travelling from the east around 20 mph.

Low cloud cover over the islands is greatest over the western end of the state, as a batch of broken stratocumulus and cumulus clouds covers most of Kauai. This area of clouds cleared Oahu earlier in the afternoon but has left broken low clouds along the Koolau range. However, narrow bands of low clouds downwind of and parallel to the Koolau range persist, hinting at the stable conditions that have set up over the state. Satellite-derived precipitable water estimates show 1.3 inches near Kauai tapering off to around 1 inch east of Oahu. As a result, only patches of broken low clouds are found along windward sections of Maui county and the Big Island north of Ookala. Sea breezes have led to the development of broken low clouds along leeward slopes of the Big Island below 7000 ft south of Kamuela.

With the zonal jet stream abruptly changing course over the far northwest portion of the area, a series of fronts are stacked up over northern waters, as well as a field of broken high clouds north of 23°N east of 167°W. A trough along 30°N 152°W, 26°N 160°W, and 20°N 169°W is moving to the east at 15 mph north of 26°N and is stalled to the south. Another decaying front runs along 30°N 151°W and 28°N 166°W. Ragged low cloud bands, roughly 150 miles wide, mark these features. Another front at 30°N 180° is moving to the east near 40 mph and is marked by a 200 mile wide band of layered clouds.

To the south of the state, isolated thunderstorms with tops to 51000 ft are being triggered by the upper low along the ITCZ near 07°N 159°W. Elsewhere, thunderstorms are non-existent along the ITCZ, which is confined south of 10°N.
