THEY HAVE BEEN MOVING FROM THE WEST AND NORTHWEST. LOW CLOUDINESS IS SCATTERED OVER MOST OF THE ALOHA STATE. BROKEN CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING...HOWEVER...IN THE PUNA AND HILO DISTRICTS ON THE BIG ISLAND...AND OCCASIONALLY IN WINDWARD SECTIONS OF EAST MAUI...AND MAUKA PORTIONS OF WEST MAUI AND KAUAI. LOW CLOUD MOVEMENT IS FROM THE EAST TO SLIGHTLY SOUTH OF EAST AT 10 TO 20 MPH STATEWIDE...WITH SPEEDS INCREASING FROM EAST TO WEST. HIGH CLOUDS ARE CAUSING CEILINGS SOUTHEAST CLOCKWISE THROUGH WEST OF THE BIG ISLAND. SKIES ARE OTHERWISE CLEAR TO SCATTERED IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. AN UPPER LOW IS AROUND 950 MILES WEST OF KAUAI...AND HAS BEEN PUSHING NORTH NEAR 10 MPH OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. THE SYSTEM IS GENERATING A BROAD AREA OF SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS... MAINLY FROM 18N TO 29N BETWEEN 167W AND 178W. A JET STREAM PASSING SOUTH OF THE LOW IS CENTERED ALONG A LINE FROM 13N180 TO 16N170W TO 19N160W TO JUST SOUTH OF THE BIG ISLAND TO 17N150W. THE JET IS CARRYING HIGH-LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUDS...SOME OF WHICH ARE CAUSING THE CEILINGS NEAR THE BIG ISLAND AS MENTIONED IN THE THIRD PARAGRAPH. A BROAD...NEARLY STATIONARY...UPPER TROUGH EXISTS EAST OF THE ISLES... WITH ITS AXIS ROUGHLY 500 MILES NORTHEAST OF HILO. THIS FEATURE IS INDUCING SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS FROM 16N TO 18N BETWEEN 142W AND 151W...AND FROM 22N TO 26N BETWEEN 142W AND 150W. UNORGANIZED CONVECTION IS FIRING ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII. MUCH OF THE ACTIVITY IS LOCATED FROM 06.5N TO 09N BETWEEN 132W AND 151W. MORE INTENSE CONVECTION IS IGNITING IN THE AREA BOUNDED BY 15N167W TO 09N164W TO 10N178W TO 15N170W TO 15N167W. THESE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE BEING DRAWN NORTH BY THE UPPER LOW DISCUSSED IN THE PARAGRAPH JUST ABOVE. $$ KINEL +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ To unsubscribe from WX-TROPL send e-mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.ILLINOIS.EDU with "unsub wx-tropl" in the body of your message.
