Hawaiian Islands Satellite Interpretation Message
Wed, 02 Feb 2011 23:30:00 -0600
Based on data through 0500 UTC February 03 2011.
A large frontal cloud band looms about 600 miles northwest of Kauai. The east edge of the band extended through 30°N 162°W to beyond 22°N 180°E. The band was moving east near 15 miles an hour. Thick strands of broken to overcast cirrus clouds were flowing out ahead of the main, 250 miles wide frontal band, north of 25°N latitude. Some of the cirrus were seen just reaching Kauai at 7 pm.
The upper low to the east of the Big Island near 20.5°N 148°W has been moving slowly southwest since midday. An upper trough meandered from the low to another upper low near 31°N 142°W. The upper trough also extended south to near 07°N 150°W. The south end of the trough was drifting slowly east. The upper low far to the north was nearly stationary.
Over the islands, some residual daytime cloudiness continued to diminish over southwest Oahu. The clouds over the Kona coast had already nearly all dissipated. Skies over most of the state and the surrounding coastal waters were mostly clear. Low clouds were moving west near the Big Island and northwest from Maui to Kauai at 10 to 15 miles an hour.
