Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Wed, 02 Feb 2011 06:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 1200 UTC February 02 2011.

Skies were mostly clear throughout the state early this Wednesday morning. However, a few small strands of broken cumulus clouds were occasionally producing mostly cloudy conditions along the windward side of the Big Island. And at 2 am, some broken low clouds were also noted along the south and northeast parts of Kauai. These low based clouds near the islands were moving west near 15 miles an hour.

An upper level low was spinning near 21°N 146°W, with an upper trough extending from the low northward through 30°N 143°W and southwest to near 06°N 159°W. The low an troughs were nearly stationary. Scattered thunderstorms were forming within 275 miles northeast and east of the low, and within about 400 miles east of the trough south of the low.

A frontal cloud band was about 750 miles northwest of Kauai. The southern edge of the cloud band extended through 32°N 168°W to beyond 27°N 180°E. Fragments of broken to overcast cirrus clouds were spilling southeast of the front, filling much of the region north of 26°N between 158°W and 170°W. This front is expected to lift north of the area. The following front still west of the dateline is expected to reach the islands this weekend.
