KNOWING THAT THE TRADE WINDS ARE BLOWING...IT CAME AS NO SURPRISE THAT THE RANDOMLY DISTRIBUTED CLOUDS WERE SCATTERED TO BROKEN OVER WINDWARD AND MAUKA SECTIONS AND WINDWARD WATERS...AND ISOLATED TO SCATTERED OVER LEEWARD AREAS AND ADJACENT LEEWARD WATERS. THE AREA OF BROKEN SHOWER-BEARING CLOUDS THAT WAS NORTHEAST OF THE ISLANDS AT THE LAST WRITING HAS SLID TO THE WEST AND IS NOW MOSTLY NORTH OF KAUAI AND OAHU. THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE AREA WAS BRINGING SCATTERED SHOWERS TO WINDWARD SECTIONS. CLOUD MOVEMENT... TO THE WEST AT 25 MPH. CLOUD TOPS BASED ON INFRARED MEASUREMENTS OF CLOUD TOP TEMPERATURES...NEAR 7 THOUSAND FEET. LOOKING AT THE WATER VAPOR CHANNEL...AN IMPRESSIVE LOOKING UPPER LOW WAS CENTERED ABOUT 550 MILES EAST OF THE BIG ISLAND NEAR 19N147W. THE LOW APPEARED TO BE MOVING SLOWLY TO THE NORTHWEST. THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUED TO FORM WITHIN 100 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE LOW CENTER. THE LOW WAS ALSO DRAGGING THUNDERSTORMS UP FROM THE ITCZ LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF 10N. THESE THUNDERSTORMS WERE WITHIN 120 MILES OF A LINE FROM 09N145W TO 17N138W.
