AS OF BULLETIN TIME...THE ONLY AREAS WHERE CLEAR TO SCATTERED SKIES EXIST AT THE LOWER ELEVATIONS ARE IN NORTH KOHALA AND PUNA. BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS ARE ALSO EVIDENT ON THE SLOPES OF HALEAKALA IN EAST MAUI AND OVER THE WEST MAUI MOUNTAINS. SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS...AS WELL...HAVE RECENTLY MOVED OVER WINDWARD SECTIONS OF OAHU AND THE KOOLAU RANGE. CONDITIONS ARE CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY ELSEWHERE OVER THE ISLAND CHAIN THIS EARLY EVENING. LOW CLOUDS ARE MOVING FROM THE EAST BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH ACROSS THE ALOHA STATE. UPWIND FROM THE ISLES ARE SCATTERED TO OCCASIONALLY BROKEN LOW CLOUDS...THOUGH CLOUDINESS IS BROKEN TO OVERCAST IMMEDIATELY NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE BIG ISLAND...INCLUDING IN THE ALENUIHAHA CHANNEL. LOW CLOUDINESS COLLAPSING OFF THE BIG ISLAND IS BEGINNING TO GENERATE CEILINGS JUST SOUTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH WEST OF THE ISLE. PLUME CLOUDS ARE PRODUCING OCCASIONAL LOW CEILINGS WEST OF NIIHAU. SKIES ARE OTHERWISE CLEAR TO SCATTERED IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. IN THE UPPER AIR ABOVE 25 THOUSAND FEET...A BROAD TROUGH...ORIENTED NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST AND NEARLY STATIONARY...HAS DEVELOPED TO THE WEST AND NORTHWEST OF THE ISLANDS. A LOW IS EMBEDDED WITHIN THE TROUGH AND IS CURRENTLY CENTERED NEAR 27.5N168.5W. THE LOW HAS DRIFTED WEST OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN IGNITING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS...WITH MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY LOCATED FROM 20N TO 24N BETWEEN 170W AND 174W. MORE CONVECTION IS FOUND WITHIN 120 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 31N160.5W TO 28.5N165W TO 26N170W. UNORGANIZED CONVECTION IS IGNITING ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE SOUTH OF HAWAII. MOST OF THE SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN FIRING FROM 07N TO 11.5N EAST OF 146W...AND FROM 09N TO 15N WEST OF 159W. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
