Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 16 Sep 2010 00:30:00 -0500
Based on data through 0500 UTC September 16 2010.
Trade winds continued to sweep relatively sparse patches of scattered cumulus clouds through the Hawaiian islands early this Wednesday evening. There were a few small clusters of scattered to broken low clouds strewn about the area, but they were few and far between.
At 7 pm, a few small clusters surrounded Kauai with most of them already moving off to the west. But several more clusters were seen upwind of the garden isle, just over 200 miles east of Kauai, or about 125 miles east-northeast of Oahu. A much larger cluster of mostly broken cumulus clouds was immediately southeast of the Big Island. This large cluster will likely just brush the south side of the Big Island as it passes south of the Big Island overnight. Oahu and the Maui county islands were seeing the fewest clouds at the moment.
An upper level low well west of the state near 22°N 177°W was moving west at 10 to 15 miles an hour. Isolated thunderstorms were forming within 125 miles of the center. A large strand of cirrus along the east side of the low was centered between 14°N 173°W and 22°N 169°W. But this low was having no effect on the Hawaiian islands.
Isolated thunderstorms were developing in association with weak low level vortices near 11°N 152°W and 11°N 140°W. Otherwise, it was rather quiet along the ITCZ.
