The most significant cloud feature in the vicinity of the main Hawaiian islands is a northeast through southwest oriented cold front that is moving eastward at around 15 mph. The cloud band associated with the front is about 400 miles wide. The front consists of mainly layred clouds which are streaming along to the northeast. A few isolated thunderstorms are also present along the leading edge of the front mainly north of 24°N.
Low clouds over and around the state were rather stable looking with clouds tops up to between 5000 and 6000 feet. Kauai was mostly cloudy with a band of clouds extending southward over the adjacent coastal waters. Just a few patches of low clouds are seen over the slopes and summits of the Koolau range. Over Molokai a few patches of low clouds can be seen over the eastern half of the island while Lanai was mostly clear. Over Maui low clouds are banked up over portions of the Haleakala slopes as well as over the slopes and summits of the west Maui mountains. Over the Big Island low clouds are banked up over the windward slopes from north Kohala southward through the Hilo and Puna districts. Low clouds are also present over portions of the Kona and Kau slopes.
