ONE IS LOCATED NEAR 30N138W...ANOTHER IS ALONG 165W 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 30 MPH. OVER THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH TOPS TO 42000 FEET IS LOCATED OVER THE NORTHWEST COASTAL WATERS OF KAUAI...ABOUT 30 MILES NORTHWEST OF THE NAPALI COAST...IS EMBEDDED WITHIN A LARGER AREA OF LAYERED CLOUDS COVERING THE COASTAL WATERS SOUTHWEST THROUGH NORTHWEST THROUGH NORTHEAST OF KAUAI...AND COVERING THE NORTHWEST HALF OF THE ISLAND OF KAUAI. THE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING EAST AT 15 TO 20 MPH. ADDITIONAL TOWERING CUMULUS...WITH TOPS TO 20000 FEET...ARE LOCATED OVER THE KAUAI CHANNEL WITHIN 20 MILES WEST OF OAHU/S NORTHWEST SHORE.
