Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Fri, 15 Oct 2010 00:30:00 -0500
Based on data through 0500 UTC October 15 2010.
Water vapor imagery shows an upper level trough over the islands late this afternoon. The upper level wind flow on the east side of the trough is bringing high clouds up along the Big Island from the ITCZ. The high clouds near the Big Island trace back to an area of thunderstorms about 330 miles south of the Big Island.
The last visible satellite images of the day show just a few clouds over Kauai, Molokai, Lanai and Kahoolawe. On Oahu, clouds are over the Koolau range with just a few clouds found elsewhere over the island. On Maui, clouds are found over the east facing slopes of the west Maui mountains. Additional clouds are found over the slopes of Haleakala.
On the Big Island, low clouds are plentiful over the east side of the island from Upolu Point to Cape Kumukahi, including most of the Puna district. Additional clouds are found over the central portion of the Kau district. Clouds cover the south Kona district, and spill over into the southern part of the north Kona district.
Low clouds near the islands are moving from the east around 15 miles an hour.
