AT THE LOWER LEVELS...LOW CEILINGS...SOME WITH EMBEDDED SHOWERS... ARE MAINLY AFFECTING WINDWARD AND MAUKA SECTIONS ON THE INDIVIDUAL ISLANDS. THIS HAS RECENTLY BEEN THE CASE MOST PARTICULARLY OVER OAHU AND EAST MAUI. LEEWARD AREAS ARE PARTLY CLOUDY FOR THE MOST PART...THOUGH OCCASIONAL BROKEN LOW CLOUDINESS HAS BEEN MOVING OVER WESTERN PORTIONS OF OAHU. LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST TO SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF EAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH JUST EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND...AND FROM THE EAST AT 20 TO 25 MPH ELSEWHERE AROUND THE ALOHA STATE. SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS ARE SCATTERED TO BROKEN IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. MOST OF THE BROKEN CONDITIONS ARE CURRENTLY UPWIND FROM THE ISLES...ESPECIALLY NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH SOUTHEAST OF THE BIG ISLAND...AND NORTH OF KAUAI. ON THE OTHER HAND...SKIES ARE NEARLY CLEAR IMMEDIATELY WEST OF THE BIG ISLAND...DISCOUNTING ANY HIGH CLOUDS. TWO UPPER LOWS ARE EAST AND WEST OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. THE FIRST IS ABOUT 425 MILES EAST-NORTHEAST OF HILO AND HAS MOVED SLOWLY WEST OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS INDUCING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA FROM 14N TO 25N BETWEEN 142W AND 151W. THE OTHER LOW IS APPROXIMATELY 1050 MILES WEST OF KAUAI AND HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THIS FEATURE IS HELPING TO GENERATE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FROM 19N TO 30N BETWEEN 167W AND 179W. A JET STREAM IS PASSING SOUTH OF THIS SECOND LOW...WITH ITS AXIS ALONG A LINE FROM 15N180 TO 19N170W TO 17N160W TO 10N150W. SPARSE CONVECTION IS FIRING ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS CURRENTLY IN THE AREA FROM 07.5N TO 11N BETWEEN 154W AND 172W. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
