THE BAND OF CLOUDS IS PRIMARILY AFFECTING WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS. OVER THE BIG ISLAND LOW CLOUDS ARE BANKED UP OVER THE WINDWARD SLOPES FROM NORTH KOHALA SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE HILO AND PUNA DISTRICTS. THE SOUTHERN END ALSO EXTENDS DOWN OVER PORTIONS OF THE SE KAU SLOPES. THE HIGHEST CLOUDS TOPS ARE UP TO 15000 TO 20000 FEET. OVER MAUI CLOUDS ARE BANKED UP OVER THE NORTHERN AND EASTERN SLOPES OF HALEAKALA AS WELL AS OVER THE SLOPES AND SUMMITS OF THE WEST MAUI MOUNTAINS. OVER MOLOKAI CLOUDS ARE BANKED UP OVER THE EASTERN SLOPES WITH A FEW CLOUDS ALSO SEEN OVER NORTHERN LANAI. OVER OAHU LOW CLOUDS ARE COVERING MOST OF THE ISLAND WITH JUST A FEW ISOLATED BREAKS SEEN. OVER KAUAI CLOUDS ARE BANKED UP OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE ISLAND. ALSO MOST OF THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SHOWERY CLOUDS OVER THEM WITH CLOUDS TOPS AGAIN TOPPING OUT NEAR 20000 FEET FOR THE HIGHEST ONES ANALYZED. SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES NORTH AND WEST OF THE STATE LIES A COMPLEX FRONTAL SYSTEM WITH A GOOD BIT OF ACTIVE WEATHER ASSOCIATED WITH IT. A BROAD AREA OF CLOUDS WITH ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE SEEN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM. THIS AREA ACTUALLY CONSISTS OF A LEADING STATIONARY FRONT FOLLOWED BY AN EAST SOUTHEAST ADVANCING COLD FRONT FOLLOWING IN ON ITS HEALS. THE PARENT LOW OF THIS FRONTAL SYSTEM CAN BE SEEN SPINNING FAR TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE STATE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE LOCATED TO THE EAST OF THE STATE. A BROAD SWATH OF HIGH CIRRUS CLOUDS IS BEING DRAWN NORTHWARD ON ITS EASTERN PERIPHERY. MUCH OF THESE HIGH CLOUDS HAVE THERE ORIGINS FROM THUNDERSTORMS DOWN ALONG THE ITCZ WHICH IS CENTERED AROUND 10N. $$ BURKE +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
