THE WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS AN AREA OF SUBSIDENCE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE STATE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIDGE. INFRARED SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS A HIGH REFLECTED AT THE SURFACE AND CENTERED AT 32N143W MOVING EAST AT 20 MPH OVER THE LAST SIX HOURS. THIS HIGH IS PUSHING BANDS OF BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS ALONG IT/S SOUTHERN FLANK FROM 130W TO 160W. THE CLOUD MOTIONS EASTERLY AT 25 MPH. FURTHER TO THE WEST IS AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT. THE UPPER TROUGH RUNS ALONG AN AXIS FROM 40N172W TO 27N172W. AT THE SURFACE...THE COLD FRONT RUNS FROM 39N154W TO 35N172W TO 27N178W. A LOW HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE FRONT NEAR 35N172W AND A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS SOUTH OF THE LOW TO 23N171W. STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ARE LOCATED AROUND THE LOW IN AN AREA FROM 28N TO 36N AND 167W TO 172W WITH CLOUD TOPS TO 48 KFT. LIGHTNING DETECTION STILL CONTINUES TO PICK UP ON STRIKES IN THIS AREA. AROUND THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...VISIBLE SATELLITE SHOWS SCATTERED CUMULUS CLOUDS OVER WINDWARD COASTAL WATERS. NOT A WHOLE LOT OF CLOUD COVER IS SEEN OVER THE LEEWARD WATERS. OVER LAND...SCATTERED TO BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS COVER MOST OF KAUAI THIS AFTERNOON. OAHU HAS BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS BUILT UP OVER THE KOOLAU AND WINDWARD SIDE OF THE ISLAND...WITH A FEW CLOUDS OVER THE REST OF THE AREA. MOLOKAI HAS CLOUDS OVER THE WINDWARD SIDE OF THE ISLAND AND IS MOSTLY SUNNY ELSEWHERE. LANAI HAS CLOUD BUILD UPS OVER THE CENTRAL INTERIOR WHILE THE COASTS REMAIN SUNNY. MAUI HAS CLOUDS ACROSS THE WEST MAUI MOUNTAINS ALONG WITH THE EASTERN AND WESTERN SLOPES OF HALEAKALA. THE NORTH AND SOUTH SLOPES OF HALEAKALA AND THE CENTRAL INTERIOR REMAIN MOSTLY SUNNY. THE BIG ISLAND HAS BROKEN TO OVERCAST CLOUD COVER OVER LEEWARD SLOPES FROM APUA POINT TO SOUTH POINT TO UPOLU POINT UP TO 6 KFT IN ELEVATION. SCATTERED CLOUDS ARE OBSERVED OVER WINDWARD PORTIONS OF THE BIG ISLAND. ELSEWHERE...WIDELY SCATTERED AND UNORGANIZED CONVECTION IS OCCURRING FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII ALONG THE ITCZ. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS RELATIVELY WEAK AND CONFINED TO AN AREA BETWEEN 05N AND 10N ACROSS THE CENTRAL PACIFIC BASIN. $$ FOSTER +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
