Based on data through 1800 UTC December 18 2010.
The most significant weather feature affecting the Hawaiian island vicinity is a broad area of low pressure centered far to the west of the state. A broad swath of clouds that is about 1000 miles wide is seen streaming northward on the east side of the low. The eastern edge of this sway consists of mainly cirrus clouds with clouds becoming more layered farther to the west. The deepest convection associated with this system remains far to the west and southwest of the aloha state. The cirrus clouds mentioned above are occasionally moving over portions of the state especially the western islands. Once these cloud are north of the state they take a turn to the east where the stream off toward the California coastline.
Over the coastal waters around the state scattered to broken low clouds can be seen moving basically toward the northwest. Most of the clouds remain offshore of the eastern islands with more coverage over the west end. Over the Big Island patches of low clouds are seen over portions of the Hilo and Puna districts. Only a few patches of low clouds are seen over western Maui and interior Lanai. A field of thin and stable low clouds is moving up from the south over portions of Molokai, Oahu and Kauai though the high clouds mentioned above is obscuring some of the low clouds beneath them.
