THE CENTRAL PART OF THE HIGH IS FAR NORTHWEST OF THE AREA AROUND 34N173W WHILE A WEAKENING SECONDARY RIDGE EXTENDS SOUTHEAST FROM THE HIGH CENTER TO AROUND 27N166W. A RAGGED BAND OF BROKEN STRATUS CLOUDS FROM A DISSIPATING TROUGH RUNS EAST TO WEST BETWEEN THESE TWO POINTS FROM 157W TO 173W. A FEW CIRRUS CLOUD BANDS ARE ALSO IN THIS AREA DUE TO AN ASSOCIATED WEAK TROUGH ALOFT. FURTHER TO THE SOUTH...ANOTHER 150 TO 200 MILES WIDE BAND OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST STRATUS CLOUDS EXTENDS ALONG AN AXIS FROM 19N155W TO NEAR THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COAST. THIS MOISTURE BAND IS FROM A DISSIPATING FRONT WHICH IS GETTING TRAINED TO THE SOUTHWEST BY THE NORTHEAST TRADE WINDS. ISOLATED SHOWERS AND SCATTERED TO BROKEN STRATOCUMULUS AND CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS TO THE SOUTHWEST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. MOST OF THE SHOWERS ARE CONCENTRATED OVER WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. OVER LAND...KAUAI HAS BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS OVER THE MOST OF THE INTERIOR WITH A FEW BREAKS ALONG THE COASTS. OAHU HAS CLOUD BUILD UPS ON THE KOOLAU AND CENTRAL PARTS OF THE ISLAND.
