THIS CLOUD BAND MARKS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEP LOW IN THE GULF OF ALASKA. THE BAND IS MOVING TOWARD THE SOUTHEAST AT 10 MPH AND ITS LEADING EDGE IS ABOUT 410 MILES NORTHWEST OF THE ISLAND OF KAUAI WITHIN THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLAND CHAIN. WATER VAPOR SHOWS A SERIES OF UPPER TROUGHS AND RIDGES BETWEEN 10N AND 30N WEST OF THE ISLANDS...AND AN UPPER LOW NEAR 21N140W...EAST OF THE ISLANDS. A 120 TO 180 MILE WIDE RAGGED ARC OF BROKEN HIGH CLOUDS LIES NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 26N152W TO 23N163W TO 18N172W...RIDING ALONG THE NORTHWESTERN FLANK OF AN UPPER RIDGE ACROSS THE ISLANDS. SCATTERED CUMULONIMBUS...CB...REMAIN ACTIVE BETWEEN 08N AND 12N WEST OF 160W. THE NORTHERN EDGE OF ASSOCIATED HIGH CLOUDS REACHES AS FAR NORTH AS 16N BETWEEN 162W AND 176W. ADDITIONAL ISOLATED CB LIE WITHIN A 60 TO 90 MILE WIDE ARC FROM 08N149W TO 08N145W TO 09N140W. CLOUD COVER HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY ACROSS THE BIG ISLAND SINCE THIS MORNING...WITH BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS COVERING ALL BUT THE HIGHEST SUMMITS THIS AFTERNOON. KAUAI HAS BROKEN LOW CLOUDS ACROSS ITS EASTERN HALF...WHILE BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS COVER THE KOOLAU AND WAIANAE SUMMITS ON OAHU. ALMOST ALL OF MOLOKAI AND LANAI LIE BENEATH BROKEN LOW CLOUDS. OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS COVER ALL HALEAKALA AND WINDWARD WEST SLOPES ON MAUI...LEAVING ONLY THE SADDLE CLEAR. IN CONTRAST...THE AREA OF LOW CLOUDS ACROSS WINDWARD WATERS HAS MOSTLY DISSIPATED...LEAVING THE BIG ISLAND PLUME EXTENDING WEST FROM THE SOUTH KONA SHORELINE AS THE MOST PROMINENT LOCAL CLOUD FEATURE OVER WATER. SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS LOW CLOUDS ARE MOVING ACROSS HAWAIIAN WATERS GENERALLY TOWARD THE WEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH. $$ POWELL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
