ONE IS LOCATED NEAR 30N140W...ANOTHER IS ALONG 168W BETWEEN 25N AND 30N. BETWEEN THESE TWO TROUGHS IS A WEAK NORTH SOUTH UPPER RIDGE AXIS ALONG 155W BETWEEN 10N AND 30N. ALL OF THESE UPPER LEVEL FEATURES ARE MOVING EAST AT 20 TO 40 MPH. OVER THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...A THUNDERSTORM WITH TOPS TO 40000 FEET IS LOCATED OVER THE KAUAI CHANNEL ABOUT 20 MILES EAST SOUTHEAST OF LIHUE AND MOVING EAST AT 10 MPH. ELSEWHERE OVER THE WATERS SURROUNDING KAUAI THERE IS A MIX OF BROKEN LAYERED CLOUDS AND TOWERING CUMULUS WITH TOPS NEAR 20000 FEET. OVER THE INTERIOR AND NORTH SHORE OF THE ISLAND OF KAUAI...SKIES ARE MOSTLY CLEAR. BROKEN TO OVERCAST STRATOCUMULUS AND ALTOCUMULUS ARE SPREADING ACROSS OAHU AT THE 10000 TO 12000 FOOT LEVEL.

WITHIN THIS AREA OF CLOUDS ARE EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS WITH TOPS TO 45000 FEET.
