Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Tue, 28 Dec 2010 23:30:00 -0600
Based on data through 0500 UTC December 29 2010.
Thunderstorms that were concentrated over and around the state 24 hours ago have split up into three areas. The most active area is north of the islands, along and north of a line from 22°N 165°W to 30°N 153°W. These thunderstorms are along and north of a stationary front. The area is moving to the north at about 20 mph. Cloud tops are up to 45000 feet.
The second most active thunderstorm area is south of the state from 06°N to 14°N between 150°W and 160°W. The tallest thunderstorms are S of 10°N with tops to 50000 feet. These thunderstorms, which are associated with the intertropical convergence zone, are nearly stationary.
The third area with the fewest thunderstorms is 500 to 1000 miles southwest of Kauai, or in an area from 10°N to 15°N between 175°W and 172°W. The thunderstorms are east of an upper level low centered near 13°N 168°W. The low is moving to the east at 25 mph. The tallest thunderstorm top is 30000 feet.
Layered clouds are being drawn over the state from the two areas south of the islands. These clouds are preventing us from seeing the low clouds below. The clouds are moving to the north anywhere from 20 to 50 mph. The fastest moving clouds are the highest clouds.
