SCATTERED TO BROKEN LOW CLOUDS COVER THE KOOLAU SUMMITS AND SLOPES OF WINDWARD OAHU...WINDWARD HALEAKALA SLOPES OF MAUI AND THE EASTERN THIRD OF MOLOKAI. BROKEN LOW CLOUDS COVER WINDWARD BIG ISLAND SLOPES FROM HILO SOUTHWARD. LEEWARD AREAS OF ALL ISLANDS EAST OF KAUAI...AND ALL OF LANAI...APPEAR TO HAVE SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS TO CLEAR SKIES. HIGH CLOUDS ARE STILL TOO THICK TO SEE ELSEWHERE LOCALLY. HOWEVER...SATELLITE LOOP SHOWS LOW CLOUDS ARE MOVING ACROSS HAWAIIAN WATERS GENERALLY TOWARD THE WEST NORTHWEST AT 15 MPH. THE THINNING HIGH CLOUDS ACROSS THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS ARE PART OF AN BROAD AREA OF HIGH CLOUDS SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 11N170W TO 20N165W TO 25N157W TO 17N150W TO 12N140W. AN UPPER TROUGH WEST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS HAS AN AXIS EXTENDING THROUGH 31N163W AND 04N180W. THE AREA OF HIGH CLOUDS MARKS THE EASTERN FLANK OF THIS TROUGH. ISOLATED CUMULONIMBUS...CB...EMBEDDED WITHIN BROKEN LAYERED CLOUDS FORM A RAGGED 180 MILE WIDE BAND NORTH OF A LINE FROM 06N140W TO 08N160W TO 04N170W TO 04N180W. EAST OF 170W...THIS CLOUD BAND IS MERGED WITH THE AREA OF HIGH CLOUDS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY. A RAGGED AND THINNING 120 TO 180 MILE WIDE BAND OF BROKEN LAYERED CLOUDS LIES NORTH OF A LINE FROM 27N161W TO 31N150W TO 33N145W. THIS FEATURE...MARKING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY...CONTINUES NORTHEASTWARD AS A BAND OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN HIGH CLOUDS NORTH OF A LINE FROM 33N145W TO 34N140W THEN BEYOND TOWARD THE MAINLAND. THIS BAND HAS NOT MOVED MUCH OVER THE PAST 12 HOURS. A DEEP LOW HAS CROSSED THE DATELINE NEAR 45N AND IS HEADING EAST IN EXCESS OF 40 MPH. OVERCAST LAYERED CLOUDS FORM A 400 TO 500 MILE WIDE BAND NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 32N180W TO 32N170W TO 34N160W TO 43N150W. THIS CLOUD BAND THEN WRAPS NORTHWEST THEN WEST INTO THE LOW...MARKING AN ASSOCIATED FRONTAL BOUNDARY. LIKE THE LOW...THE CLOUD BAND IS SPREADING TOWARD THE EAST IN EXCESS OF 40 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.
