Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:30:00 -0500
Based on data through 1800 UTC October 07 2010.
Visible satellite this morning shows mostly sunny skies over the main Hawaiian islands with some cumulus clouds forming along windward and mauka sides. On Kauai these clouds over the eastern third of the island while the rest of the island is clear. Oahu has buildups along the Koolau mountains and rest of the area is clear. Molokai only has a small patch of clouds on the far eastern part of the island. Lanai is sunny this morning and Maui has cloud buildups on the windward west side along the Hana highway. The Big Island is almost all clear this morning with just a few clouds on the southeast coastline from Cape Kumukahi to South Point. Scattered cumulus clouds cover most of the windward and eastern coastal waters of the main islands. A thicker patch of broken clouds currently starts 50 to 75 miles to the southwest of Oahu through the Big Island. Movement of these clouds over the coastal waters from the east at 15 mph. Patches of stratus and stratocumulus clouds lie between 40 to 200 miles northeast through west of Kauai.
Two other bands of clouds are located further to the north and northwest of the main Hawaiian islands. The closest is resulting from a dissipating front and is characterized by a 100 mile wide band along an axis from 32°N 149°W to 28°N 163°W to 24°N 173°W. The second is an active cold front with a 125 mile wide band of clouds along an axis from 39°N 149°W to 30°N 166°W to 29°N 177°E.
Far south of Hawaii, unorganized showers and thunderstorms continue across the ITCZ. The main band runs across the central Pacific basin between 08°N and 11°N. A persistent large area of thunderstorms is bounded between 06°N to 14°N and 173°W to 171°E. Storm tops with all of these thunderstorm cells reach to vertical heights near 51 kft.
