LOW CLOUDS SOUTH OF THE RIDGE ARE MOVING EAST AT 10 TO 20 MPH...WHILE NORTH OF THE RIDGE LOW CLOUDS ARE MOVING NW AT 5 TO 10 MPH. LOW CLOUDS ARE MOSTLY SCATTERED ACROSS THE TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL CENTRAL PACIFIC WITH A FEW PATCHES OF BROKEN CLOUDS MIXED IN. AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH STRETCHES FROM 30N 150W TO THE SOUTHWEST OVER 20N AND THE DATELINE. THE LOW IS ENHANCING SOME LOW LEVEL CLOUD GROWTH NEAR 30N 155W AND ALSO NEAR 21N 172W WHERE ISOLATED TOWERING CUMULUS CAN BE SEEN ON IR SATELLITE IMAGERY. THE SUBTROPICAL JET IS PRODUCING LAYERED MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS FROM THE DATELINE TO 167W BETWEEN LATITUDES 8N AND 20N. THE JET SNAKES ACROSS THE CENTRAL PACIFIC BETWEEN 10N AND 20N AND IS PROVIDING UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO FORM NEAR 15N 148W. OVER THE ISLANDS...WINDWARD COASTS AND SLOPES HAVE PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES WHILE LEEWARD LOCATIONS ARE MOSTLY CLEAR. SOME WISPS OF CIRRUS ARE MOVING FROM WEST TO EAST ABOVE THE STATE NEAR 30 THOUSAND FEET. SATELLITE AND RADAR SHOW A FEW PATCHES OF SHOWERS...ONE LOCATED 50 MILES SOUTH OF KAUAI...AND ANOTHER 75 MILES NORTH OF MAUI. BOTH ARE MOVING ABOUT 12 MPH TOWARD THE EAST. THE REST OF THE COASTAL WATER AREA IS PARTLY CLOUDY WITH ISOLATED SHOWERS MOVING ALONG WITH THE MODERATE TRADE WIND FLOW. $$ MORRISON +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
