Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message

Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Thu, 03 Feb 2011 06:30:00 -0600

Based on data through 1200 UTC February 03 2011.

A large frontal cloud band loomed about 525 miles northwest of Kauai. The tail end of the cloud band which was originally associated with and attached to a low near 43°N 157°W, was being incorporated into another frontal band attached to a low near 41°N 179°W. The leading edge of the newly merged front extended through 35°N 164°W to 30°N 167°W and continued through 22°N 180°E. This new frontal cloud band northwest of the state and the tail end of the original frontal band north-northeast of the islands were forming a large letter y. The frontal band northwest of the state had slowed a bit to near 10 miles an hour.

The upper low about 360 miles east of the Big Island near 19°N 149°W has been moving southwest near 10 miles an hour. The low is expected to stall and eventually move southeast of the islands.

Over the islands, skies were mostly clear except for a few patches of low clouds mainly along the east coasts of the Big Island. The low clouds just east of the Big Island were moving west at 10 to 15 miles an hour. Those low clouds see near Kauai were moving northwest at 5 to 10 miles an hour.
