AN UPPER LEVEL JET IS CROSSING THE DATELINE NEAR MIDWAY ATOLL AND POINTS WEST TOWARDS A DEEP UPPER LEVEL TROUGH LOCATED FARTHER TO THE WEST NEAR 170E. A DECK OF LAYERED CLOUDS COVERS THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE AREA NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 30N172W TO 25N180. THE LOCATION OF THIS CLOUD DECK HAS MOVED LITTLE OVER THE PAST SIX HOURS. ISOLATED EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE LOCATED WITHIN THIS AREA STRETCHING WITHIN 30 MILES OF A LINE FROM 30N177W TO 28N180 CROSSING ABOUT 30 MILES SOUTHEAST OF MIDWAY ATOLL. THE HIGHEST CLOUD TOPS ARE NEAR 48000 FEET WITH THESE STORMS. OVER THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...CLOUD PATTERNS ARE CONSISTENT WITH AN AFTERNOON LIGHT TRADE WIND PATTERN.
