Hawaiian Islands weather details & Aloha paragraphs

The winds coming up from the southwest will continue to carry at least some passing showers our way. The air aloft is still rather cold, at least compared to the warm and moisture laden air near the surface. This contrast will keep the clouds in our area growing taller than normal in places. These localized towering cumulus clouds will be occupying our skies for a little while longer. We will see at least some showers falling, a few of which could remain on the heavy side locally. This however won’t be a total wash, as there will be more and more clearing, with sunshine poking through the clouds more frequently. 

It’s Saturday evening here in the islands, as I begin writing this last paragraph of today’s narrative. This long lasting Kona low pressure system is finally making an effort to move away to the north of the islands. There is light at the end of the tunnel here folks, as the new week ahead looks like a good one, with lots of warm sunshine expected, which will help to dry things out quickly on the leeward sides. The returning trade winds will be with us soon, so that the bias for showers will shift over from the leeward sides, back to the windward coasts and slopes in the near future. ~~~ Please use this looping satellite image so you can see where the clouds are congregating Saturday night into Sunday morning. Here’s a looping radar image, so you can keep abreast of where any showers are falling too. ~~~ I went to see a new film last evening, called the Golden Compass. It starred Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig in a fantasy adventure of parallel worlds, witches, warring bears and shape-shifting animals. It didn’t receive all that high of grades by the movie critics, actually only a B-, although the trailer pulled me in. As it turned out, I would go along with that B- rating, as I wasn’t all that impressed. Despite the occasional fun parts, it was a bit too slow for me. I think part of the problem was that the air conditioning wasn’t working in the theatre, and with a packed house, it was way too warm…with the heat distracting my attention. It was so bad in fact that at the end of the film, I complained to the management and they refunded my money. ~~~ Saturday saw lots more sunshine, more in fact than we have seen all week, which was nice. I have a funny relationship with the weather…I find myself being a little attached to the wet weather, and will miss all the action and excitement that it generated. On the other hand, I did enjoy seeing the blue skies Saturday, and feeling the warm sunshine beaming down for a change. I’ll be back early Sunday morning with your next narrative updates, I hope you have a great Saturday night wherever you happen to be spending it! Aloha for now…Glenn.
