Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 27 Jan 2011 06:30:00 -0600
Based on data through 1200 UTC January 27 2011.
The leading edge of a weak frontal band extends from near 30°N 141°W to 25°N 150°W to 23°N 160°W. The band is between 90 and 120 miles wide and consists of mainly cumulus and stratocumulus cloud elements. The front is the vicinity of the islands is nearly stationary while individual clouds along the front are moving off toward the west.
Low cloud coverage upwind of the islands has increased over the past few hours with the greatest increase to the east of Maui and the Big Island. Clouds tops are running up to around 6500 feet. These clouds are moving toward the west at around 15 mph. Sky coverage was rather limited over the islands themselves with just some scattered low clouds primarily over select windward and mauka locations.
Water vapor imagery shows a broad upper low centered far to the east southeast of the Big Island. A few isolated thunderstorms are seen near the center as well as along the ITCZ far to the southeast of the state. The upper low is also drawing up some high cirrus clouds from the south.
