THIS CLOUDINESS EXTENDS FAR TO THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST FROM THE GARDEN ISLE. AT THE LOWER LEVELS...SKIES ARE PREDOMINANTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY ACROSS THE ISLAND CHAIN. LOW CEILINGS ARE MAINLY CONFINED TO WINDWARD AND MAUKA SECTIONS ON THE INDIVIDUAL ISLES...AND EVEN THERE BROKEN CLOUDINESS IS NOT PERSISTING. LOW CLOUD MOVEMENT IS FROM THE EAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH STATEWIDE. BROKEN OCCASIONALLY SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS ARE EVIDENT NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH EAST OF MAUI COUNTY...AND NORTHEAST AND EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND. SMALL PATCHES OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN LOW CLOUDINESS EXIST WEST OF THE BIG ISLAND...AND SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF THE OTHER ISLES. CONDITIONS ARE OTHERWISE CLEAR TO SCATTERED IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...DISCOUNTING ANY HIGH CLOUDINESS. IN THE UPPER AIR ABOVE 25 THOUSAND FEET...A HIGH IS CENTERED ABOUT 875 MILES EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND. ELSEWHERE...THE AXIS OF A TROUGH...ORIENTED EAST-NORTHEAST TO WEST-SOUTHWEST...IS 680 MILES NORTHWEST OF KAUAI AND HAS BEEN HEADING EAST TO SOUTHEAST NEAR 10 MPH. THIS FEATURE IS HELPING TO IGNITE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA FROM 26N TO 33N BETWEEN 159W AND 168W. ALSO...THE HIGH CLOUDS OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE ARE POSITIONED ALONG THE EASTERN AND SOUTHERN FLANKS OF THE UPPER TROUGH. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIRING ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS OCCURRING FROM 10N TO 14.5N BETWEEN 120W AND 147W...AND FROM 06.5N TO 13N BETWEEN 147W AND THE DATE LINE AT 180. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
