Based on data through 1800 UTC December 24 2010.
A weak surface trough near the Big Island is producing broken low clouds with embedded towering cumulus and isolated thunderstorms east and south of the Big Island. Broken low clouds extend as far east as 145°W and span from 14°N to 20°N. The trough and associated clouds have been moving slowly east over the past 6 hours.
Northeast and north of the islands, a 250-mile wide cloudband associated with a weak cold front is centered over 30°N 140°W, 26°N 150°W, and 28°N 160°W. The band is made up of broken to overcast stratocumulus and cumulus clouds with embedded showers.
Northwest and west of the state, a strong cold front extends from NNE to SSW centered from 30°N 171°W to 18°N 178°W. The cloud band associated with the front averages about 300 miles across and is made up of layered clouds up to 35 thousand feet with embedded scattered thunderstorms with tops up to 50 thousand feet. The front is moving 15 mph toward the east.
Over the islands, skies are clear this morning with the exception of the windward and SE coasts of the Big Island where scattered to broken low clouds prevail. Land breezes overnight have cleared skies throughout the rest of the aloha state. Over the coastal waters, enhanced showers can be seen near the Big Island and over the Kauai channel.
