A BAND OF BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS EXTENDS 225 MILES NORTH OF THE TROUGH...AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS RISING TO 43 KFT ARE EMBEDDED IN THE BAND. MOISTURE ALONG THE NORTHERN FLANK OF THE BAND IS ENHANCING CLOUD COVER OVER WINDWARD AND SOUTHEAST PORTIONS OF THE BIG ISLAND AND EAST MAUI. BROKEN TO OVERCAST CUMULUS CLOUDS BLANKET THESE PORTIONS OF THE ISLANDS...AS WELL AS THE COASTAL WATERS 40 MILES TO THE EAST.
