LOW CLOUDS...SOME WITH EMBEDDED SHOWERS...ARE PREVALENT OVER MOST OF THE ISLAND CHAIN. ON THE BIG ISLAND...HOWEVER...AREAS OF NEARLY CLEAR SKIES EXIST...FOR THE MOMENT ANYWAY...IN LEEWARD KOHALA AND COASTAL SECTIONS OF NORTH AND SOUTH KONA. LOW CLOUD MOVEMENT IS FROM THE EAST TO SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF EAST STATEWIDE...AT 10 TO 15 MPH AT THE EAST OF THE STATE AND INCREASING TO NEAR 25 MPH MOVING UP THE CHAIN TO KAUAI. IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS...CONDITIONS ARE PREDOMINANTLY SCATTERED...IGNORING ANY HIGH CLOUDINESS. TO BE MORE PRECISE...MUCH OF THE SCATTERED LOW CLOUDINESS THAT DOES EXIST IS SHOWERY AND HAS BEEN MAINLY AIMED AT THE ISLES FROM MAUI TO KAUAI. ELSEWHERE... OUTSIDE THE COASTAL WATERS ABOUT 250 MILES NORTHEAST OF HILO...IS A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH MOVING WEST WITH THE PREVAILING TRADE FLOW. AN UPPER LOW IS AROUND 450 MILES NORTHEAST OF HILO AND HAS BEEN NEARLY STATIONARY OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FEATURE ARE LOCATED FROM 16N TO 21N BETWEEN 141W AND 149W...AND FROM 23N TO 26N BETWEEN 144W AND 153W. ANOTHER UPPER LOW IS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1000 MILES WEST OF KAUAI AND HAS HEADED SLOWLY SOUTH SINCE EARLIER IN THE DAY. MOST OF THE CONVECTION WITH THIS SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY BOUNDED BY 30N172W TO 20N165W TO 16N180 TO 20N174W TO 23N179W TO 30N172W. THE AXIS OF A JET STREAM PASSING SOUTH OF THIS SECOND LOW IS ALONG A LINE FROM 15N180 TO 21N163W TO 17N157W TO 11N150W. HIGH CLOUDS BEING TRANSPORTED BY THE JET ARE THE ELEMENTS JUST WEST AND SOUTHWEST OF THE ISLES...AS ALLUDED TO IN FIRST PARAGRAPH. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII REMAIN FAIRLY WEAK AND LIMITED AREALLY. MOST OF THE CONVECTION IS FOUND FROM 08N TO 11.5N BETWEEN 150W AND 167W. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
