THE FEATURE CONTINUES TO INDUCE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS... MOST OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY IN THE AREA FROM 23N TO 29N BETWEEN 162W AND 168W. UPPER LEVEL DYNAMICS...ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOW AND ITS ACCOMPANYING TROUGH...ARE ALSO GENERATING A SWATH OF CIRRUS CLOUDINESS TO THE EAST OF THE SYSTEM. SOME OF THESE HIGH CLOUDS HAVE BEEN STREAKING OVER KAUAI AND SURROUNDING WATERS FROM THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST. SKIES ARE PREDOMINANTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY OVER THE ISLAND CHAIN THIS EARLY MORNING...IGNORING ANY HIGH CLOUDINESS. ON THE OTHER HAND...LOW CEILINGS..SOME WITH EMBEDDED SHOWERS...HAVE BEEN OCCURRING OVER WINDWARD SECTIONS OF THE BIG ISLAND...ESPECIALLY IN THE HILO AND PUNA DISTRICTS. BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS AND SHOWERS HAVE BEEN EVIDENT IN COASTAL AND LOWER UPSLOPE AREAS OF NORTH KONA AS WELL. LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH ACROSS THE ALOHA STATE. LOW CLOUDS...A MIX OF STABLE AND SHOWERY ELEMENTS...ARE SCATTERED TO BROKEN NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE BIG ISLAND...AND ARE HEADING WEST WITH THE PREVAILING TRADE FLOW. FAIRLY SMALL AREAS OF BROKEN LOW CLOUDS ARE LOCATED WEST OF THE BIG ISLAND AND SOUTH OF OAHU. DISCOUNTING THE HIGH CLOUDS NEAR KAUAI...CONDITIONS ARE CLEAR TO SCATTERED ELSEWHERE IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. CONVECTION ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE HAS INTENSIFIED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...MOST PARTICULARLY WEST OF 160W. THIS UNORGANIZED ACTIVITY IS FOUND FROM 10N TO 14N BETWEEN 142W AND 160W...AND FROM 06N TO 13.5N BETWEEN 160W AND 170E. SOME THUNDERSTORM CELLS NEAR THE DATE LINE...FROM 10N TO 13N...HAVE RECENTLY BEEN CLIMBING TO OVER 50 THOUSAND FEET. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
