Water vapor shows an upper level low near 40°N 157°W, about 1300 miles north of Honolulu at 8 am. The low has been moving to the northeast around 25 mph over the last six hours. The associated upper level trough extends from the upper the low to 35.7°N 152.9°W to 22.3°N 160.6°W.
A stationary front near the Kauai channel continues to spread clouds, showers and thunderstorms to the main Hawaiian islands this morning. At 8 am, the clouds are thickest over the islands of Maui county and the Alenuihaha channel. The main Hawaiian islands continue to be on the southern end of the layered clouds associated with the front. Cloud tops in the Alenuihaha are reaching near 39 thousand feet. Cloud tops are reaching near 40 thousand feet a few hundred miles northeast of the islands.
The first visible images of the day show high clouds moving from the southwest to northeast over Kauai, with areas of lower clouds beneath. Layered clouds are moving over Oahu, but there are holes in the clouds at 8 am, with the thinnest clouds over downtown Honolulu. The layered clouds cover almost all of Molokai and Lanai at first light, and blanket Kahoolawe and Maui. The clouds over Maui extend over the Alenuihaha channel and are over the northern third of the Big Island. Additional clouds are found over the eastern end of the Kau district, extending up the slopes to the summit area.
Low clouds south of the islands are moving from the south around 15 mph.

A vigorous cold front was making its way over Kauai at sunset this evening. The front was moving quickly east at just over 30 miles an hour. Scattered thunderstorms and numerous showers were occuring along and out to 180 miles east of the front. Tops of the thunderstorms near the islands were mostly between 35000 and 38000 feet. Higher storm tops were noted north of the state beyond 25°N.
The most active weather and unstable clouds occupied the area out to around 250 miles east of the front between 20°N and 30°N. The broken to overcast cloudiness further east beyond this main frontal cloud band, and east of a line from 30°N 143°W to 20°N 151°W were made up of mostly broken to scattered low clouds and broken to overcast high level cirrus clouds. However, there were some showers and isolated thunderstorms embedded within this area as well.
The frontal cloud band was obscuring Kauai and Oahu. Maui county and the Big Island were seeing some cloudiness as well but not as much as Oahu and Kauai. But the frontal cloud band was about to move onto Molokai at 7 pm. The waters just southwest of Maui and the Big Island were seeing mainly scattered low clouds.
The front extended from a low pressure system near 36°N 162°W southward through 30°N 155°W to 25°N 158°W to Kauai to 18°N 170°W at 6 pm. The low was moving northeast near 15 miles an hour.
The back or west edge of the frontal cloud band extended from 30°N 158°W to 26°N 160°W to 19°N 170°W. Numerous, mostly scattered low clouds were flowing southeastward into the area northwest of the front between 160°W and the dateline. Ahead of the front, scattered to broken low clouds were seen flowing northward toward the island chain near 15 miles an hour.
A 225 miles wide, broken to overcast layered cloud band along the ITCZ was centered along a line from 09°N 140°W to 08°N 150°W to 12°N 158°W to 07°N 171°W. Isolated thunderstorms were embedded within this cloud band. The thunderstorms were most numerous east of 155°W. Tops of the strongest storms were near 38000 feet.

Water vapor imagery shows an upper level trough with an axis from 35°N 167°W to 30°N 1162°W. A 225 mph west-northwest to east-southeast oriented jet stream runs on the southern side of the trough. The jet has an axis from 34°N 174°E to 29°N 173°W. An area of mid/high level clouds runs along the jet axis.
The upper trough has a surface reflection scattered to broken clouds cover the main Hawaiian islands this afternoon. The low center is at 34°N 162°W and a cold front extends to 35°N 159°W to 28°N 157°W to 19°N 166°W. The cloud band associated with the front is 300 miles wide north of 26°N and consists of dense layered clouds with tops to 35 kft. A 220 mile wide band of low and midlevel clouds with embedded towering cumulus /tcu/ clouds lines the southern portion of the front. Ahead of the front, broken layered clouds with scattered TCU and cumulonimbus clouds cover from the front to eastward to 148°W and north of 18°N. Broken clouds cover the main Hawaiian islands with some clearing beginning to occur over the leeward coastal and offshore waters. The only island showing any significant breaks in this cloud coverage is the leeward Big Island, from South Point to Kailua-Kona.
Thunderstorms associated with the ITCZ cover an area from 07°N to 13°N and 133°W to 148°W. Cloud tops extend to 35 kft in height. Broken cumulus and altocumulus clouds cover an area from 05°N to 12°N and 155°W to 171°W.
