TRADE WINDS ARE PUSHING LOW CLOUDS FROM EAST TO WEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH. FROM 140 TO 160W...THE MAJORITY OF LOW CLOUDS ARE BROKEN STRATUS AND STRATOCUMULUS /SC/ ...WHILE WEST OF 160W THE LOW CLOUDS TRANSITION TO SCATTERED SC AND CUMULUS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A 500-MILE WIDE BAND OF SCATTERED MID AND UPPER LEVEL CIRRUS LOCATED OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE TO 300 MILES WEST OF KAUAI. THIS BAND EMANATES OUT OF THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE /ITCZ/ IN THE DEEP TROPICS AND THE CLOUDS ARE MOVING NE BETWEEN 50 AND 90 MPH. THE STRONGER UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND CLOUDS ARE BEING PRODUCED BY AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED NEAR 25N 178W...AND ASSOCIATED UPPER TROUGH THAT EXTENDS NE OUT OF THE LOW INTO THE NORTH PACIFIC. A WEAK DISTURBANCE LOCATED ABOUT 700 MILES SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF THE BIG ISLAND IS TRIGGERING AN AREA OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH TOPS NEAR 50000 FEET. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO FOUND WITHIN THE ITCZ FROM 165W TO POINTS WEST. OVER THE ISLANDS...TRADE WINDS HAVE BUILT UP LOW CLOUDS OVER WINDWARD AND MOUNTAIN AREAS. LEEWARD LOCATIONS REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LOWER SLOPES OF HALEAKALA AND THE BIG ISLANDS ISLANDS. THESE LEEWARD SLOPES HAVE OVERCAST SKIES DUE TO AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES. CLOUDS OVER THE COASTAL WATERS ARE SCATTERED TO BROKEN ON THE WINDWARD SIDE...AND MOSTLY CLEAR TO SCATTERED ON THE LEEWARD SIDE. $$ MORRISON +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
