SATELLITE LOOPS CONTINUE TO SHOW SHOWERY SCATTERED TO BROKEN LOW CLOUDS MOVING TOWARD THE ISLANDS FROM THE EAST AT 25 MPH AND RADARS CONTINUE TO SHOW MODERATE SHOWERS IN THESE CLOUDS. SHOWERS HAVE BEEN MOVING OVER WINDWARD AREAS OF THE SMALLER ISLANDS BUT MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN SLIDING PAST BY THE BIG ISLAND. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A HIGH AMPLITUDE PATTERN OVER THE CENTRAL NORTH PACIFIC WITH ACTIVE WEATHER EAST AND WEST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. ONE LOW ALOFT IS CENTERED 500 MILES EAST NORTHEAST OF HILO AT 22N148W. BROKEN TO OVERCAST LAYERED CLOUDS AND SCATTERED CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS WITH TOPS TO 35000 FT COVER THE AREA FROM 19N TO 24N BETWEEN 143W AND 150W. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS THE LOW HAS MOVED NORTH AT 10 MPH. A SECOND LOW ALOFT IS CENTERED 1100 MILES WEST OF KAUAI AT 25N177W. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS THE LOW HAS REMAINED NEARLY STATIONARY. A 570 MILE WIDE BAND OF OVERCAST LAYERED CLOUDS AND ISOLATED EMBEDDED CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS IS WEST OF A LINE FROM 30N168W TO 25N167W TO 20N167W. THERE IS A RIDGE ALOFT BETWEEN THE LOW WEST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS AND THE ONE TO THE EAST. BROKEN CIRRUS CLOUDS ARE STREAMING EAST AND SOUTHEAST OVER THE RIDGE FROM THE CLOUD BAND WEST OF KAUAI. SOME OF THESE CLOUDS ARE REACHING THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. $$ DONALDSON +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
