THERE WERE A FEW SMALL CLUSTERS OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN LOW CLOUDS STREWN ABOUT THE AREA...BUT THEY WERE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. AT 7 PM...A FEW SMALL CLUSTERS SURROUNDED KAUAI WITH MOST OF THEM ALREADY MOVING OFF TO THE WEST. BUT SEVERAL MORE CLUSTERS WERE SEEN UPWIND OF THE GARDEN ISLE...JUST OVER 200 MILES EAST OF KAUAI...OR ABOUT 125 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF OAHU. A MUCH LARGER CLUSTER OF MOSTLY BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS WAS IMMEDIATELY SOUTHEAST OF THE BIG ISLAND. THIS LARGE CLUSTER WILL LIKELY JUST BRUSH THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BIG ISLAND AS IT PASSES SOUTH OF THE BIG ISLAND OVERNIGHT. OAHU AND THE MAUI COUNTY ISLANDS WERE SEEING THE FEWEST CLOUDS AT THE MOMENT. AN UPPER LEVEL LOW WELL WEST OF THE STATE NEAR 22N 177W WAS MOVING WEST AT 10 TO 15 MILES AN HOUR. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WERE FORMING WITHIN 125 MILES OF THE CENTER. A LARGE STRAND OF CIRRUS ALONG THE EAST SIDE OF THE LOW WAS CENTERED BETWEEN 14N 173W AND 22N 169W. BUT THIS LOW WAS HAVING NO EFFECT ON THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING IN ASSOCIATION WITH WEAK LOW LEVEL VORTICES NEAR 11N 152W AND 11N 140W. OTHERWISE...IT WAS RATHER QUIET ALONG THE ITCZ. $$ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
