THIS IS PARTICULARLY SO ON OAHU...MAUI...AND THE BIG ISLAND AS OF BULLETIN TIME. LOW CEILINGS ARE ALSO AFFECTING THE WEST- AND SOUTH-FACING SLOPES OF HALEAKALA IN EAST MAUI...AND COASTAL AND UPSLOPE PORTIONS OF KONA ON THE BIG ISLAND. SKIES ARE PARTLY CLOUDY ELSEWHERE AROUND THE ISLAND CHAIN. LOW CLOUD MOTION IS FROM THE EAST BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH ACROSS THE ALOHA STATE. UPWIND FROM THE ISLANDS...SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS ARE SCATTERED TO OCCASIONALLY BROKEN. LOW CEILINGS HAVE BECOME WIDESPREAD WEST OF NIIHAU AND THE BIG ISLAND...AND SOUTH OF MAUI COUNTY. SKIES ARE OTHERWISE CLEAR TO SCATTERED IN THE ADJACENT COASTAL WATERS. ALOFT ABOVE 25 THOUSAND FEET...A LOW APPEARS TO BE FORMING NEAR 24N168W...WHICH IS ABOUT 535 MILES WEST-NORTHWEST OF KAUAI. A TROUGH STRETCHES FROM THE LOW TOWARD THE WEST-SOUTHWEST THROUGH 23.5N170W TO 21N180 TO 20N173E. THE LOW IS MOVING SLOWLY NORTH AS THE TROUGH REMAINS NEARLY STATIONARY. THE AXIS OF A JET STREAM IS SOUTH OF THE TROUGH AND IS ALONG A LINE FROM 17N175E TO 18N175W TO 25N162W. THE JET IS HELPING TO GENERATE A LARGE SWATH OF BROKEN TO OVERCAST HIGH CLOUDS...WITH SOME OF THE CIRRUS ELEMENTS APPROACHING THE ALOHA STATE FROM THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS REMAIN UNORGANIZED ALONG THE INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE FAR SOUTH OF HAWAII. MOST OF THE CONVECTION IS CURRENTLY LOCATED FROM 07N TO 10N BETWEEN 142W AND 174W.
