A new ocean entry fed by a western branch of the active flow

Detailed Description

A new ocean entry started overnight, fed by a western branch of the active flow. The light gray-colored new flow shows up well in the cloud shadow at left edge of the photo. An eastern branch of the flow continues to advance slowly toward Kalapana Gardens, which is visible at the upper right. The eastern flow branch is visible as a slightly lighter gray within the broader flow field, its terminus about even with the vertical center line of the photo just above the heart-shaped forested kipuka.
