THIS IS MOST PARTICULARLY THE CASE IN THE PUNA AND HILO DISTRICTS ON THE BIG ISLAND...THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF EAST MAUI...AND THE KOOLAU AND WAIANAE RANGES ON OAHU. LOW CEILINGS ARE ALSO AFFECTING THE KONA SLOPES ON THE BIG ISLAND...AND THE WEST-FACING SLOPES OF HALEAKALA IN EAST MAUI. SKIES ARE PREDOMINANTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY ELSEWHERE. LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST AT 25 TO 30 MPH JUST EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND AND VEERS TOWARD THE EAST- SOUTHEAST AND SLOWS TO NEAR 20 MPH MOVING UP THE CHAIN TO KAUAI. SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS ARE BROKEN OCCASIONALLY SCATTERED IMMEDIATELY NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH EAST OF THE ISLES FROM OAHU TO THE BIG ISLAND. BROKEN SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS ARE ALSO EVIDENT SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH OF THE BIG ISLAND. TOO...OCCASIONAL LOW CEILINGS ARE FORMING IN THE CHANNELS...AND SOUTH OF MAUI COUNTY AND OAHU. CONDITIONS ARE OTHERWISE CLEAR TO SCATTERED IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. THE LEADING EDGE OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST MULTILAYERED CLOUDS...WITH EMBEDDED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS AND ASSOCIATED WITH A STATIONARY FRONT...IS APPROXIMATELY 300 MILES NORTH AND NORTHWEST OF KAUAI AS OF BULLETIN TIME. MOST OF THE CLOUDINESS IS CENTERED ALONG A LINE FROM 30N162.5W TO 26N167W TO 22.5N173.5W TO 20.5N180. ANOTHER FRONT IS TO THE WEST AND IS HEADING TOWARD THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST AT 20 TO 25 MPH. MOST OF THE CLOUDINESS WITH THIS BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY WEST OF A LINE FROM 30N174W TO 27.5N177W TO 25.5N180. THIS FRONT IS IN THE VICINITY OF MIDWAY ATOLL...WHERE RECENT SURFACE OBSERVATIONS HAVE SHOWN VARIABLY CLOUDY SKIES... OCCASIONAL SHOWERS LIMITING VISIBILITY TO AS LOW AS ONE MILE...AND WINDS FROM THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST NEAR 15 MPH GUSTING TO NEAR 30 MPH. UPPER AIR TROUGHING EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF HAWAII...IN COMBINATION WITH WEAK SURFACE TROUGHING AND WIND CONVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE...HAS GENERATED A LARGE AREA OF MULTILAYERED CLOUDS WITH ACCOMPANYING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS. MOST OF THIS CLOUDINESS AND PRECIPITATION IS EAST AND SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM 20N146W TO 14.5N155W TO 08N169W. MORE LIMITED CONVECTION IS LOCATED FROM 06N TO 09.5N WEST OF 169W. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
