Based on data through 0000 UTC January 09 2011.

Regional satellite images highlight a nearly stationary, vertically stacked, area of low pressure, centered about 625 miles north- northeast of Oahu. The islands are on the southern periphery of the flow around this low, with west to northwest winds prevailing over the islands and surrounding waters. Scattered to locally broken showery cumulus /cu/ near the islands are moving toward the east and southeast, at speeds between 20 and 25 mph. In addition, scattered to broken cirrus clouds, although rather thin, are moving rapidly southeast over the islands within a strong flow aloft. A drier air mass, with few to scattered cu and stratocumulus /sc/ is located to the west and northwest of the islands, and appears to be headed toward the islands.

The surface low to the north-northeast of the islands also has a reflection aloft, as seen in water vapor imagery, hence the vertically stacked nature of the low. Shortwave troughs rotating around this larger low have been responsible for the formation of showers bands near the islands, in an air mass that might normally be too dry to support shower formation. One such shortwave is supporting an area of layered clouds and embedded thunderstorms over waters east of the islands, between 150°W and 140°W from 10°N to 30°N.

Aside from the high clouds, skies over most island areas are partly cloudy or mostly sunny, with the snow covered Big Island peaks clearly seen on visible imagery. The northwest coast of Kauai has scattered to broken low clouds, with only few sc elsewhere on the island. Showery broken cu are coming ashore oahu's north shore, but the remainder of the island has few to scattered cu. Aside from a few small cu over east Molokai, Lanai and west Maui, the remainder of Maui county is mostly sunny. Most of the Big Island is under sunny skies, except for limited patches of broken cu and sc over the lower windward slopes.

Sat, 08 Jan 2011 12:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 1800 UTC January 08 2011.

Regional infrared and water vapor imagery reveals a vertically stacked, nearly stationary, low pressure area centered about 575 miles north-northeast of Oahu this morning. A weakly defined front associated with the low is producing clouds and showers along a diffuse east-west line that extends across Kauai and adjacent waters. Scattered to broken low clouds, with embedded showers, are also over the other islands and adjacent waters, with shower motion toward the east and southeast, at speeds near 24 mph.

East of the islands, primarily between 150°W and 140°W, an area of layered clouds and deep convection is located between 15°N and 30°N, where moisture associated with a different front is being enhanced by a stronger shortwave that traversed the islands yesterday. Both this shortwave and the weaker one supporting the front near Kauai are rotating around the deep-layered low centered to the north-northeast of the islands.

Skies over the islands range from cloudy and showery to nearly clear, with the prevailing west-northwest flow stacking the clouds and showers along what would normally be the leeward side of the islands. Areas that are under nearly clear skies include the southeast half of Kauai, the southeastern two-thirds of Oahu, west Molokai, east Maui, and most of the Big Island, where the snow covered summits are clearly seen on the initial visible images of the day. Cloudy areas include northwest Kauai, the north shore of Oahu, the Pailolo channel, and adjacent land areas of windward Molokai and west Maui.

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Sat, 08 Jan 2011 06:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 1200 UTC January 08 2011.

A deep upper level low is centered at 29°N 157°W moving southeast at 15 mph. This upper low is driving two main surface lows, the stronger one at 37°N 156°W and another at 30°N 157°W. The surface low has a long occluded, cold front and trough associated with it. The impact to the central Pacific basin includes an active cold front extending from 30°N 141°W to 15°N 151°W. The front merges with a surface trough south of 15°N. On IR satellite, the front and upper low are producing a large band of layered clouds with scattered embedded cumulonimbus clouds with tops to 50 kft. Numerous lightning strikes are also detected within the cloud band. Most of the clouds are bounded within a box from 15°N to 33°N and 140°W to 151°W and moving northeast at 20 mph.

The southerly low has a cold front which extends from 31°N 156°W to 27°N 154°W to 24°N 157°W to 24°N 160°W. A 120 mile wide band of layered and towering cumulus clouds along with numerous detected lightning strikes indicate the boundary. Cloud tops are around 34 kft in height within the band.

Far to the northwest, mid and high level clouds are moving across the far northwest Hawaiian islands, including Midway and kure atolls. These clouds are ahead of a longwave trough that is currently east of the dateline.

Shortwave IR satellite across the main Hawaiian islands shows scattered cumulus clouds around Kauai and Oahu this morning. From Molokai through the Big Island and adjacent waters, a few low cumulus clouds are observed.

Fri, 07 Jan 2011 23:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 0500 UTC January 08 2011.

A deep upper level low is centered at 30°N 159°W moving southeast at 15 mph this evening. An overcast towering cumulus cloud band is within a 240 mile radius of the center on the southern and eastern flanks. Numerous lightning strikes have been detected within the clouds. This upper low is driving two main surface lows, the stronger one at 37°N 154°W and another at 30°N 157°W. The first low has an occluded cold front associated with it, with the cold front portion extending from 31°N 140°W to 20°N 151°W, and becomes a stationary front south of 20°N. The second low doesn't have much of a boundary associated with it, but it would be nearly impossible to see under the dense layered clouds from the upper low.

The dense layered clouds cover an area from 19°N to 35°N, west of 140°W, and east of a line from 35°N 148°W to 18°N 161°W. The layered clouds have tops around 35 kft in height. Isolated towering cumulus clouds are also embedded within the cloud band.

Far to the northwest, mid and high level clouds are moving across the far northwest Hawaiian islands, including Midway and kure atolls. These clouds are ahead of a longwave trough that is currently east of the dateline.

Shortwave IR satellite across the main Hawaiian islands shows the far southeastern fringes of the dense layered cloud band across the Big Island this evening. Overcast skies cover the Big Island and waters to the south and east. Maui county and Oahu have cleared out for the most part this evening while scattered stratocumulus clouds cover Kauai and the surrounding waters.

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 06 Jan 2011 23:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 0500 UTC January 07 2011.

A deep low pressure system is centered at 31°N 149°W and traveling east at 15 mph this evening. The associated cold front extends from 33°N 147°W to 26°N 147°W to 21°N 157°W to 19°N 172°W. A 120 mile wide band of overcast stratus clouds is directly to the south and east of the boundary. North of 25°N, the cloud band becomes layered with embedded thunderstorms and is also moving east at 15 mph. Cloud top heights range are mostly around 35 kft in height, with a few cumulonimbus clouds reaching 47 kft in height. South of 25°N the front is weakening and moving east-southeast at 8 to 10 mph. Low top broken cumulus cover the area behind the front until running into the next system starting west of 155°W.

The upper low with this system can be seen on water vapor centered at 29°N 168°W. A trough at the surface is just to the south of the low. This system is producing a band of layered clouds north of 24°N, west of 155°W and east of 167°W. A ridge of high pressure is west of this system and providing mostly clear skies west of 167°W to the dateline.

The frontal clouds are currently draped across Maui county this evening. No showers are along the front so radar is essentially clear. Patches of broken clouds are observed across the state on infrared satellite and the last visible images. Kauai and Oahu have broken patches over most of the island interior and scattered clouds are observed off the coasts. Maui county has broken to overcast clouds over all four islands and extends across waters to the northeast and southwest. The Big Island has broken clouds over almost the whole island up to 8 kft in elevation where it's mostly clear.

Far south of the state in the ITCZ, broken high clouds remain from dissipated thunderstorms between 05°N to 11°N and 134°W to 153°W. Broken cumulus clouds cover the rest of the area between 05°N to 10°N in the central Pacific basin.
