FROM 140 TO 160W...THE MAJORITY OF LOW CLOUDS ARE BROKEN STRATUS AND STRATOCUMULUS /SC/ ...WHILE WEST OF 160W THE LOW CLOUDS TRANSITION TO SCATTERED SC AND CUMULUS. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A 500-MILE WIDE BAND OF SCATTERED MID AND UPPER LEVEL CIRRUS LOCATED JUST WEST OF KAUAI. THIS BAND EMANATES OUT OF THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE /ITCZ/ IN THE DEEP TROPICS AND THE CLOUDS ARE MOVING NE BETWEEN 50 AND 90 MPH. THE STRONGER UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND CLOUDS ARE BEING PRODUCED BY AN UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED NEAR 25N 178W. THIS LOW HAS REMAINED STATIONARY OVER THE PAST 6 HOURS. A WEAK DISTURBANCE LOCATED ABOUT 700 MILES SOUTHEAST OF THE BIG ISLAND IS TRIGGERING AN AREA OF ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH TOPS NEAR 45000 FEET. ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE ALSO FOUND WITHIN THE ITCZ FROM 163W TO POINTS WEST. OVER THE ISLANDS...TRADE WINDS HAVE BUILT UP LOW CLOUDS OVER WINDWARD AND MOUNTAIN AREAS. LEEWARD LOCATIONS REMAIN MOSTLY CLEAR WITH SOME SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS BLOWING OVER THE SMALLER MOUNTAIN RANGES.
