AND UPSLOPE SECTIONS ON THE INDIVIDUAL ISLES. SKIES ARE SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY OVER THE NORTHERN COASTAL AREAS OF THE SMALLER ISLANDS AND MAUI...AND COASTAL AND UPSLOPE PORTIONS OF THE HILO AND PUNA DISTRICTS ON THE BIG ISLAND...ALONG WITH COASTAL PARTS OF KOHALA AND KAU. LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST TO EAST-NORTHEAST NEAR 10 MPH ACROSS THE ISLAND CHAIN. LOW CLOUDS ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK FRONT ARE CAUSING OCCASIONAL CEILINGS JUST NORTH OF THE ISLANDS THIS EARLY AFTERNOON. MORE CONCENTRATED CLOUDINESS WITH THE BOUNDARY EXTENDS FAR NORTHEAST AND NORTHWEST FROM THE STATE. CONDITIONS ARE OTHERWISE CLEAR TO OCCASIONALLY SCATTERED OVER THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. LOOKING ALOFT ABOVE 25 THOUSAND FEET...A LOW IS CENTERED AROUND 1120 MILES WEST OF KAUAI AND HAS BEEN PUSHING WEST NEAR 10 MPH OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS... MOST OF WHICH ARE CURRENTLY WITHIN 175 MILES EITHER SIDE OF A LINE FROM 27N172W TO 26.5N177W TO 21N177.5E. MORE SURFACE AND UPPER AIR INSTABILITY SOUTH OF THE LOW IS IGNITING CONVECTION IN THE AREA FROM 09N TO 16N BETWEEN 172W AND THE DATE LINE AT 180. ELSEWHERE...A WEAK UPPER LOW EMBEDDED WITHIN A VERY DRY ENVIRONMENT IS 120 MILES EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND AND APPEARS TO BE HEADING SLOWLY TOWARD THE WEST-SOUTHWEST. WITH THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE ALSO FAIRLY DRY SOUTH OF THE FRONT...THE UPPER FEATURE IS HAVING NO DISCERNIBLE EFFECT ON SURFACE WEATHER EAST OF THE STATE. UNORGANIZED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO FIRE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE. MOST OF THE CONVECTION IS NOW LOCATED FROM 10N TO 15N BETWEEN 131W AND 144W... AND FROM 06N TO 11N BETWEEN 152W AND 169W. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
