Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Tue, 14 Dec 2010 12:00:00 -0600
Based on data through 1730 UTC December 14 2010.
Skies are nearly clear across most of the aloha state this morning. The few areas where low cloud ceilings prevail include windward sections of Oahu, and the Puna and Hilo districts, and a small portion of north Kona, on the Big Island. Low cloud motion is from the east statewide, near 15 mph just east of the Big Island and slowing to under 10 mph moving up the chain to Kauai.
A cluster of scattered to broken low clouds exists just east of the Big Island and is heading west with the prevailing trade flow, while a small area of broken low clouds is immediately west of north Kona and leeward Kohala. A thin band of broken low clouds oriented north to south is just north and northeast of Oahu. Conditions are otherwise clear to scattered in the adjacent coastal waters.
West of the islands is a large swath of broken to overcast multilayered clouds with embedded showers and thunderstorms. The cloudiness is associated with frontal boundaries far north and west of state. Most of the showers and thunderstorms are currently within 200 miles either side of a line from 30°N 160°W to 25°N 174°W to 09°N 179°E.
Convection is firing along the intertropical convergence zone far south of Hawaii. Most of this unorganized activity is located from 06°N to 10°N east of 163°W.
