BROKEN TO OVERCAST STRATOCUMULUS AND CUMULUS CLOUDS ARE MOVING CLOCKWISE AROUND THE HIGH. THIS CLUSTER OF CLOUDS IS SANDWICHED BETWEEN THE MENTIONED FRONTAL REMNANT CLOUD BAND AND ANOTHER DISSIPATED FRONT ALONG AN AXIS FROM 26N166W TO 34N146W. THE ASSOCIATED OVERCAST STRATUS CLOUD BAND IS ALSO BEING PUSHED BACK TO THE WEST BY THE TRADE WINDS.
