Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 16 Dec 2010 06:00:00 -0600

Based on data through 1130 UTC December 16 2010.

Skies are clear to partly cloudy over most of the aloha state this early morning. Occasional low ceilings have been mainly confined to the Puna and Hilo districts on the Big Island, and to leeward Kohala and northern parts of north Kona. Low cloud motion is from the east statewide, near 15 mph just east of the Big Island and slowing to less than 10 mph moving up the chain to Kauai.

Stable-looking scattered to broken low clouds have been forming north clockwise through east of Maui and the Big Island, south and west of the Big Island, and south of Maui county. Conditions are clear to scattered elsewhere in the adjacent coastal waters.

A front is far northeast of the islands and moving away. The boundary consists of broken to overcast low clouds, currently north of a line from 27.5°N 130°W to 25.5°N 140°W to 25.5°N 145°W to 26.5°N 150°W to 30°N 151°W. Another front is stationary far west of the state. As of bulletin time, most of the multilayered clouds associated with the system, which are embedded with showers and thunderstorms, are within 250 miles either side of a line from 30°N 165°W to 20°N 172°W to 14°N 180° to 08°N 175°W.

Unorganized, and fairly weak, convection has been igniting along the intertropical convergence zone far south of Hawaii. Most of the showers and thunderstorms are located within 130 miles either side of a line from 08°N 140°W to 13°N 150°W to 08°N 153°W to 08°N 163°W. More activity is found from 05°N to 07°N between 167°W and 171.5°W.
