THE SYSTEM HAS RECENTLY BEEN IGNITING ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AREA FROM 20N TO 30N BETWEEN 161.5W AND 169W. THE LOW AND ITS ASSOCIATED TROUGH ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR AN AREA OF HIGH LEVEL CIRRUS CLOUDINESS THAT EXTENDS FAR TO THE EAST OF THE FEATURE...INCLUDING OVER THE GARDEN ISLE OF KAUAI AND THE ADJACENT WATERS TO ITS SOUTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH NORTHEAST. AROUND THE ALOHA STATE THIS EARLY EVENING...MUCH OF THE BIG ISLAND IS BLANKETED WITH LOW CLOUDS BELOW 7500 FEET...THOUGH AREAS OF CLEAR TO SCATTERED CONDITIONS ARE EVIDENT IN NORTH KOHALA...SOUTHERN KAU... AND UPSLOPE FROM APUA POINT. LOW CLOUDS ARE PREVALENT IN THE EXTREME EASTERN PARTS OF EAST MAUI AND OVER THE WEST-FACING SLOPES OF HALEAKALA. SKIES ARE PREDOMINANTLY CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE ISLAND CHAIN...IGNORING THE HIGH CLOUDS OVER KAUAI. LOW CLOUDS COLLAPSING OFF THE BIG ISLAND ARE CAUSING CEILINGS IMMEDIATELY SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF THE ISLE. A SMALL AREA OF BROKEN LOW CLOUDINESS EXISTS JUST NORTH CLOCKWISE THROUGH EAST OF MAUI.
