Based on data through 1800 UTC October 12 2010.
Across the main Hawaiian islands, broken low clouds cover the east and southeast sections of Kauai, and extend offshore to the west southwest across Niihau. Broken low clouds also cover the slopes of the Koolau range on Oahu, and eastern Molokai east of kamalo. Scattered to broken low clouds are located over northeast sections of Lanai. Broken low clouds cover the slopes of the west Maui mountains, and eastern slopes of Haleakala from nahiku to Hana to kaupo below 6000 ft.
On the Big Island, scattered to broken low clouds are located over the windward slopes of the Kohala range. Broken to overcast low clouds cover portions of north and south Hilo districts below 4000 ft, and Puna district inland from the southeast coast. These clouds extend 20 miles offshore to the northeast of the windward coast. Broken to overcast low and mid level clouds cover western Kau district west of wood valley below 8000 ft, and south Kona district south of Honaunau. These clouds extend up to 80 miles offshore to the south and southwest.
Beyond the main Hawaiian islands, an area of showery open cell cumulus clouds is located from 21°N to 26°N between 151°W and 156°W, or over the windward offshore waters. These clouds are moving to the west at 20 mph. Farther to the east, an area of more stable stratocumulus and closed cell cumulus clouds is located generally east of 149°W. These clouds are greatest in coverage between 20°N and 23°N. Cloud motion is to the west southwest at 20 mph.
Isolated cumulonimbus clouds in the intertropical convergence zone extend as far north as 15°N east of 153°W, and as far north as 13°N west of 174°W. Cloud tops extend up to 48000 ft. Broken to overcast cirrus and cirrostratus clouds extend farther north from the convection, and are located generally south of a line from 23°N 180° to 12°N 158°W to 21°N 140°W. Another area of broken cirrus and cirrocumulus clouds is located generally north of 26°N between 157°W and 169°W. These clouds are moving to the east at 30 mph.
