Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Sat, 16 Oct 2010 00:30:00 -0500
Based on data through 0500 UTC October 16 2010.
A broad upper level trough over the main Hawaiian islands has sparked isolated thunderstorms near the islands this afternoon. These thunderstorms have been located about 175 miles west of Kauai with tops near 40 thousand feet. The broad upper level trough is also bringing high clouds up and over the Big Island from thunderstorms south of the islands. This area of thunderstorms is about 585 miles southwest of the Big Island with tops near 46 thousand feet.
Scattered clouds are found over Kauai early this evening, and just a few clouds are over Niihau. Thin high clouds are passing over Niihau and Kauai, but are not yet obscuring the lower clouds. On Oahu, clouds are concentrated over the Koolau mountain range, with scattered clouds over the Waianae range. Scattered clouds are over the Halawa Valley on Molokai, and over the interior of Lanai. On Maui, broken clouds are found over the slopes of the west Maui mountains, the central valley, and most of Haleakala. The north facing slopes of Haleakala from hookipa beach park to keanae have the fewest clouds overhead, but additional clouds are just offshore.
On the Big Island, the heaviest concentration of clouds is over the south and north Kona districts. Broken low clouds are found over the Kau district. Scattered to broken low clouds are found elsewhere on the Big Island lower slopes.
