THIS IS ESPECIALLY THE CASE ON THE BIG ISLAND...WHERE RAIN HAS BEEN PERSISTENT FOR A FEW HOURS IN THE HILO AND PUNA DISTRICTS. BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS ARE ALSO PREVALENT ON THE WEST-FACING SLOPES OF HALEAKALA IN EAST MAUI...AND OVER THE MOUNTAIN SLOPES IN KAU...KONA...AND SOUTH KOHALA ON THE BIG ISLAND. LOW CLOUDS ARE MOVING FROM THE EAST TO EAST-NORTHEAST BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH ACROSS THE ALOHA STATE. IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...LOW CLOUDINESS IS PREDOMINANTLY SCATTERED...THOUGH PATCHES OF BROKEN SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS ARE CURRENTLY NORTH OF KAUAI AND OAHU...NORTHEAST OF MAUI COUNTY...AND IMMEDIATELY NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND. OUTSIDE OF THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTHWEST OF THE STATE IS A LARGE AREA OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDINESS...FROM 18N TO 20N BETWEEN 158W AND 163W. IN THE UPPER AIR ABOVE 25 THOUSAND FEET...AN EAST-NORTHEAST-TO-WEST- SOUTHWEST ORIENTED TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE WEST OF THE ISLANDS. ITS AXIS IS ALONG A LINE FROM 26N162W TO 22N170W TO 20N175E. THE SYSTEM IS INDUCING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA FROM 17.5N TO 20N BETWEEN 174E AND 179W. A JET STREAM IS FLOWING SOUTH OF THE TROUGH AXIS AND IS ALONG A LINE FROM 17N175E TO 17N175W TO 22N165W. THE DYNAMICS ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET ARE GENERATING A LARGE SWATH OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST HIGH CLOUDS...WITH SOME ELEMENTS APPROACHING THE ALOHA STATE FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE FIRING ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII. MOST OF THIS UNORGANIZED CONVECTION IS LOCATED FROM 06N TO 10N WEST OF 154W. A MUCH SMALLER AREA OF ACTIVITY IS FOUND FROM 08N TO 10N BETWEEN 139W AND 146W. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
