Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 21 Oct 2010 19:30:00 -0500
Based on data through 0000 UTC October 22 2010.
Low clouds have increased over the main Hawaiian islands since daybreak, while clouds coverage upstream of the islands has remained the same.
High clouds continue to stream from west to east about 75 miles south of the Big Island due to the upper level wind flow on the south and east side of the upper level trough. The upper level trough that has lingered near the islands for the past several days is still near the islands at 2 pm. The associated upper level low has moved to the northeast over the last six hours, and is about 2300 miles to the north northeast of Honolulu at 2 pm.
As mentioned above, cloud coverage has increased over the main Hawaiian islands over the last six hours, but clouds do not cover as much of the islands as they did 24 hours ago. Just a few clouds are found over Niihau and Kahoolawe this afternoon. On Kauai, scattered clouds cover most of the island. Meanwhile clouds are thickest over the Koolau range on Oahu, but have also spread into the central valley and over the Waianae range. Scattered clouds are found across Molokai and Lanai this afternoon, and over most of the west Maui and Haleakala slopes on Maui. On the Big Island broken clouds cover most of the island. The areas with the fewest clouds are the eastern portion of the Puna district, and the coastal areas of the south Kohala district.
