The last visible images of the day show few clouds over the smaller islands, and a few thin high clouds over the general area of the main Hawaiian islands. Low clouds to the east of the Big Island are moving from the east between 15 and 20 mph. North of Kauai, the low clouds are moving from an east southeast direction between 15 and 20 mph.
On Kauai, scattered clouds are found over the eastern third of the island, with additional clouds found over the western third of the garden isle. On Oahu, the low clouds are over the Waianae range. Molokai has clouds over Halawa Valley, and Lanai has clouds over the west side of the island. Just a few clouds are over the slopes of Maui.
The Big Island has the most clouds overhead of all the main Hawaiian islands. The low clouds are thickest over the western side of the island, with clouds blanketing the south Kona, north Kona, and south Kohala districts. These clouds extend up the slopes to around 10 thousand feet. The Kau district also has plenty of clouds overhead at 7 pm. The remaining districts of the Big Island have scattered clouds overhead.
