WEATHER COMMENT: berkey: Tue Aug 02 00:28:30 GMT 2022
The sky has begun to get Orographic clouds coming up from the west and north slopes of Maunaloa. Additionally, there is a very large dust storm visible in the western Saddle Valley that is obscuring the view of the leeward side of the Big Island as well as kicking up dust into the atmosphere. Looking across the Saddle Valley it appears that the dust has gotten up over the elevation of Hualalai and and may currently be above 10,000' elevation.
