jackson,
"why does the storm appear to be moving North on the radar???"
I'm assuming you mean satellite images rather than radar, as the storm is too far away to be seen on Hawaii weather radars. As for the northern movement, you're likely seeing the high-level clouds from the storm being pulled off by north-easterly shear, i.e high level winds. The low-level center of the storm is still moving to the north-west, but isn't particularly obvious on satellite images.
