Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Sun, 24 Oct 2010 00:00:00 -0500
Based on data through 0430 UTC October 24 2010.
Skies are predominantly clear to partly cloudy across the island chain this early evening. Occasional broken low cloudiness is favoring windward and mauka sections on the individual isles. The Big Island is seeing the most cloudiness, especially over the mountain slopes, and coastal sections of Kau and south Kona. Low cloud movement is from the east near 20 mph just east of the Big Island and slows to 15 mph moving up the chain to Kauai.
Clouds collapsing off the Big Island are generating low ceilings immediately south and southwest of the isle. Conditions are clear to scattered elsewhere in the adjacent coastal waters.
In the upper air above 25 thousand feet, the axis of a weak northeast-to-southwest oriented trough is about 150 miles southeast of the Big Island and is moving toward the west or west-northwest near 15 mph. A band of high clouds is streaking toward the northeast on the east and southeast flank of the feature. The trough is also helping to ignite isolated thunderstorms from 12°N to 15°N between 152°W and 158°W.
Showers and thunderstorms remain unorganized far south of Hawaii along the intertropical convergence zone. Most of the convection is located from 06°N to 10°N between 129°W and 176°E. Some cells are climbing to over 50 thousand feet as of bulletin time, mainly in the area from 06°N to 08°N between 172°W and 176°W.
