THE TROUGH HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. THE MAIN CLOUD FEATURE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TROUGH IS A BROAD SWATH OF CIRRUS CLOUDS STREAMING NORTHEASTWARD ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. THESE HIGH CLOUDS ARE STREAMING ACROSS MOST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS WITH ITS NORTHERN EDGE JUST BRUSHING THE ISLAND OF KAUAI. THE ABOVE MENTIONED HIGH CLOUDS IS HELPING TO OBSCURE THE LOW CLOUD COVERAGE OVER AND AROUND THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. WITH KAUAI HAVING THE LEAST AMOUNT OF HIGH CLOUDS OVER THEM PATCHES OF LOW CLOUDS CAN BE SEEN OVER NORTH AND EAST FACING SLOPES OF THE ISLAND. LOW CLOUDS CAN BE SEEN BANKED UP OVER THE SLOPES AND SUMMITS OF THE KOOLAU RANGE. PATCHES OF LOW CLOUDS CAN ALSO BE SEEN OVER EASTERN MOLOKAI. THE HIGH CLOUDS WERE OBSCURING ALL OF LANAI AND MAUI. OVER THE BIG ISLAND PATCHES OF LOW CLOUDS CAN BE SEEN OVER PORTIONS OF THE HILO AND PUNA DISTRICTS. UPWIND OF THE ISLANDS LIES A BROAD FIELD OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN LOW CLOUDS MOVING WESTWARD IN MODERATE TRADE WIND FLOW. $$ BURKE +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
