The leading edge of a weak frontal band extends from near 30°N 142°W to 26°N 147°W to 24°N 150°W to 23°N 163°W. The band is between 120 and 150 miles wide and consists of mainly cumulus and stratocumulus cloud elements. The front is the vicinity of the islands is drifting very slowly toward the north while individual clouds along the front are moving off toward the west.
Low cloud coverage around the islands was rather sparse with the exception of an area of clouds passing by well south of the islands. There are also patches of low clouds extending from Kauai westward. Over the islands themselves Kauai has patches of low clouds over interior sections. Just a few patches of low clouds can be seen over the Koolau slopes while both Molokai and Lanai were generally clear. Over Maui patches of low clouds can be seen over the eastern and southern slopes of Haleakala as well as over the slopes and summits of the west Maui range. Over the Big Island low clouds are banked up over the windward slopes from north Kohala southward through the Hilo and Puna districts as well as over portions of the Kona and Kau slopes.
