THESE CLOUDS CONTAIN SHOWERS...AND WITH THE HELP OF THE MODERATE TRADE WINDS... THE WINDWARD SECTIONS OF THE ISLAND OF HAWAII AND MAUI...HAVE HAD SOME PASSING SHOWERS. THE REMAINING ISLANDS SUCH AS MOLOKAI OAHU AND KAUAI...ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING PASSING SHOWERS TO THEIR WINDWARD AND MOUNTAIN AREAS BUT TO A MUCH LESSER EXTENT. FOR THE SMALLER ISLANDS...MOST OF THE SHOWERS WOULD DISSIPATED UPON CROSSING THE MOUNTAIN RANGES THUS LEAVING THE LEEWARD SECTIONS DRY. THE CLOUDS AND SHOWERS ARE MOVING IN FROM THE EAST NORTHEAST AT AROUND 20 MPH. THE LOW CLOUDS HAVE LOOSEN UP SOME DURING THE PAST HOUR ACROSS THE LEEWARD SIDE OF THE BIG ISLAND...SOUTH OF WAIKOLOA. THE KAU SLOPES ARE EXPERIENCING BRIEF PASSING CLOUDS AND SPRINKLES. THE COMPLEXION CHANGES OVER THE ADJACENT WATERS OFF THE KAU COAST WHERE WEATHER RADAR IS DETECTING SCATTERED SHOWERS. THE BAND OF HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUDS HAVE SHIFTED SLIGHTLY WEST THUS AVOIDING KAUAI COUNTY AND THE REST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE NEARLY STATIONARY UPPER LEVEL LOW NEAR 20N176W. A TROUGH EXTENDS NORTHWARD THROUGH 25N172W TO 30N166W. ANOTHER TROUGH EXTENDS SOUTH FROM THE LOW TO 10N176W. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY HAS CEASED AT THE BASE OF THE TROUGH...AROUND 10N178W...BUT REMAINS PRESENT WITHIN 100 MILES SOUTH SEMICIRCLE OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW. THE CIRRUS REMAINS PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO A BAND...100 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 10N180W TO 16N172W TO 25N163W TO 27N143W. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS NON EXISTENT IN THE TROPICS SOUTH OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...EXCEPT FOR A LONE CELL AT 07N167W. $$ LAU +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
