THIS NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST ALIGNED REMNANT CLOUD BAND WAS JUST WIDE ENOUGH TO COVER MOST OF THE AREA FROM KAUAI TO THE BIG ISLAND. THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THIS DECAYING CLOUD BAND STRETCHED THROUGH 30N 137W TO 27N 140W TO NEAR HILO THEN TO 17N 170W. MOST OF THE BROKEN LOW CLOUDS WITHIN THE BAND NEAR THE STATE HAD TOPS BETWEEN 12 AND 15 THOUSAND FEET. A LARGE FIELD OF NUMEROUS PATCHES OF BROKEN TO SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS SAT NORTH OF THE CLOUD BAND. A ROUGHLY 110 MILES WIDE BAND OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST LOW CLOUDS SAT SOUTH OF THE BAND...EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND. THIS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE CLOUD BAND WAS CENTERED BETWEEN 17N 151.5N AND 24N 146W. THIS CONVERGENCE CLOUD BAND WAS STATIONARY. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS AN UPPER LEVEL LOW HOVERING NEAR 20N 180E. THE LOW APPEARED TO BE WEAKENING SOMEWHAT. HOWEVER...IT WAS STILL MANAGING TO GENERATE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS AROUND ITS CENTER. IT WAS ALSO GENERATING SOME CLUSTERS AND STRANDS OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST CIRRUS CLOUDS FROM 12N TO 23N BETWEEN 167W AND THE DATELINE. $$ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
