THE BROKEN CLOUDS THAT WERE ONLY OVER THE KOOLAU MOUNTAINS AND OLOMANA ON OAHU THIS MORNIG HAVE BEEN JOINED BY BROKEN CLOUDS OVER THE WAIANAE MOUNTAINS. AS FOR MAUI COUNTY...ALMOST ALL OF THE CLOUDS WERE COLLECTED OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. ELSEWHERE OVER THE SMALLER ISLANDS...SKIES WERE MOSTLY CLEAR. THE BIG ISLAND...AS IS USUAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE DAY...SAT UNDER BROKEN TO OVERCAST CLOUDS. THE EXCEPTIONS WHERE THERE WERE CLEAR SKIES WERE OVER AND NEAR UPOLU POINT...OVER THE KAU DESERT...OVER THE SUMMITS OF MAUNA KEA AND MAUNA LOA...AND DOWN THE SPINE OF THE SOUTHWEST RIFT ZONE. AS WAS THE CASE THIS MORNING...LOW CLOUDS WERE BROKEN OVER WATERS EAST OF MAUI...AND BROKEN TO OVERCAST EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND. OVERALL...THERE ARE FAR FEWER CLOUDS OUT THERE THAN AT 8 AM THIS MORNING. AS FOR TOPS...MOST OF THE LOW CLOUDS WERE AT OR BELOW 8000 FEET. AS FOR MOVEMENT...THE CLOUDS OVER WATER WERE MOVING TO THE WEST SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH...WHILE THOSE OVER LAND WERE STILL ANCHORED TO THE MOUNTAIN TERRAIN. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED THAT THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE CHANGE SINCE THIS MORNING. TWO UPPER LEVEL LOWS...ONE CENTERED WEST OF THE STATE NEAR 21N165W...AND ONE CENTERED NORTH OF THE STATE NEAR 28N153W CONTINUED TO FIRE OFF THUNDERSTORMS. THE LOW TO THE WEST HAD THE MOST THUNDERSTORMS IN A LARGE AREA BOUNDED BY 07N AND 23N BETWEEN 165W AND 180W. THESE CLOUDS WERE ALSO THE TALLEST... REACHING UP TO NEAR 45000 FEET.

AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING NORTHEAST AND SOUTHWEST OF THE LOWS CONTINUED TO CARRY PATCHY HIGH CLOUDS UP OVER THE STATE FROM THE SOUTHWEST.
