INTERIOR AREAS OF MOLOKAI AND LANAI ARE ALSO SEEING AN INCREASE IN LOW CLOUDINESS. OTHER LOCALES AROUND THE ALOHA STATE ARE SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY. LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST-SOUTHEAST NEAR 10 MPH JUST EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND AND BACKS TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST NEAR 15 MPH MOVING UP THE CHAIN TO KAUAI. HIGH CLOUDS ARE PRODUCING OCCASIONAL CEILINGS SOUTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH WEST OF THE BIG ISLAND. SMALL AREAS OF BROKEN LOW CLOUDS ARE PASSING BY SOUTH OF OAHU AND KAUAI. SKIES ARE CLEAR TO SCATTERED ELSEWHERE IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. AN UPPER LOW IS NEARLY A 1000 MILES WEST OF KAUAI...AND HAS BEEN HEADING SLOWLY TOWARD THE NORTHWEST OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FEATURE ARE CURRENTLY BOUNDED BY 29N177W TO 27N166W TO 24N165W TO 18N172W TO 20N175W TO 27N180 TO 29N177W. THE AXIS OF A JET STREAM PASSING SOUTH OF THE LOW IS ALONG A LINE FROM 13N180 TO 16N170W TO 19N160W TO JUST OVER THE BIG ISLAND TO 17N150W. THE JET IS CARRYING CIRRUS CLOUDINESS ALONG ITS PATH...WITH ELEMENTS GENERATING CEILINGS NEAR THE ISLANDS AS MENTIONED IN THE SECOND PARAGRAPH. AN UPPER TROUGH IS WEAKENING TO THE EAST OF THE STATE. OVERALL CONVECTION HAS WANED...AS WELL...AS THE TROUGH WEAKENS AND DRIFTS EAST. THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT REMAIN ARE LOCATED FROM 21N TO 26.5N BETWEEN 148W AND 151W. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE IGNITING ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII. THE CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BE UNORGANIZED. MOST OF THE ACTIVITY IS FOUND FROM 07N TO 10N BETWEEN 130W AND 153W...AND FROM 10N TO 16N BETWEEN 164W AND 171W. THIS LATTER AREA OF CONVECTION IS BEING DRAWN TO THE 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.
