CLOUDS HAVE BECOME ISOLATED OVER MOST AREAS FROM NIIHAU TO MAUI BUT THERE ARE SMALL PATCHES OF BROKEN LOW CLOUDS OVER THE WINDWARD SLOPES. RADARS SHOW ONLY ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS OVER WINDWARD AREAS EXCEPT FOR A FEW MODERATE SHOWERS OVER WINDWARD EAST MAUI. SKIES ARE CLEAR OVER MOST OF THE BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII WITH PATCHY SCATTERED TO BROKEN LOW CLOUDS ALONG THE WINDWARD COAST FROM PEPEEKEO TO JUST SOUTH OF HILO TOWN AND FROM KEAHOLE POINT TO UPOLU POINT. LOW CLOUDS EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND ARE MOVING FROM SLIGHTLY NORTH OF EAST AT 10 TO 15 MPH. THE LOW LEVEL FLOW VEERS TO EAST SOUTHEAST OFF THE WINDWARD SIDES OF THE ISLANDS FROM THE BIG ISLAND TO MOLOKAI...THEN BACKS TO EAST NORTHEAST AT 10 MPH AROUND OAHU AND KAUAI.
