Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Sat, 22 Jan 2011 12:00:00 -0600
Based on data through 1730 UTC January 22 2011.
Skies are predominantly clear to partly cloudy across the aloha state this morning. Occasional low ceilings are occurring, though, in windward and mauka sections on the individual isles. This is especially the case in Kauai and in the Hilo and Puna districts on the Big Island as of bulletin time. Low cloud movement is from the east near 15 mph just east of the Big Island and veers to the east-southeast at 10 to 15 mph moving up the chain to Kauai.
A thin band of scattered to broken low clouds, some with embedded showers, is oriented north-northwest to south-southeast and is moving toward the islands from the east. A portion of the band is currently just east of the Big Island. Old plume clouds are causing low ceilings from time to time west of the Big Island and south of Maui county and Oahu, and immediately southwest of Kauai. Conditions are otherwise clear to scattered in the adjacent coastal waters.
The leading edge of broken to overcast showery low clouds with a front is about 550 miles northwest of Kauai. The feature is moving toward the east near 15 mph along 30°N but becomes nearly stationary south of 23°N. Most of the cloudiness is northwest of a line from 30°N 162°W to 24.5°N 170°W to 20°N 180° as of this writing. Elsewhere, a weak upper low is around 850 miles east-northeast of Hilo and is heading slowly west. The low is having little effect on surface weather at this time.
