Synopsis for hawaiian coastal waters - High pressure north of the state will slowly drift east and strengthen over the next several days.

FXHW60 PHFO 230652 AFDHFO

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 852 PM HST Mon Apr 22 2024

SYNOPSIS
Breezy and showery trade wind conditions will prevail through the week, with clouds and showers favoring windward and mauka locations. Trade winds may ease slightly this weekend as the ridge weakens to the north.

DISCUSSION
Guidance remains in good agreement through the week and depicts mostly benign conditions persisting with the subtropical ridge remaining in place to the north. Moderate to breezy northeast trades will shift out of the east overnight through Tuesday as a band of moisture settles southward into the area. This band of moisture will linger in the area Tuesday, then slowly diminish through midweek. This will support showery conditions for windward and mountain areas, with some showers making it over to our leeward sections of the smaller islands overnight through morning periods. Accumulations over windward/mauka locations could reach the 1-2 inch range over the next couple of days as steady, mostly light, showers continue to develop and move through.

The breezy easterly trades may ease slightly next weekend into early next week as the ridge weakens to the north in response to deep low pressure developing far northwest of the state near Midway.

AVIATION
A healthy band of clouds moving in will bring a higher probability of MVFR cigs/vsbys and SHRA over windward and mauka areas this evening.

AIRMET Sierra is in effect for mtn obsc for all islands.

AIRMET Tango is also in effect for moderate turb below 080 for S and W of all islands.

MARINE
High pressure north of the state will slowly drift east and strengthen over the next several days, resulting in fresh to strong trade winds over the islands. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for higher winds through Tuesday night covering most Hawaiian coastal waters from Oahu to Big Island.

Surf heights along all shores will remain below advisory thresholds through the weekend. A small, medium period northwest swell will arrive late Wednesday and continue through Saturday.
Choppy, rough surf expected all week along east facing shores due to the trade winds. South facing shores will continue to see small background swell pulses through rest of the the week.

HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Wednesday for Oahu Leeward Waters-Kaiwi Channel-Maui County Windward Waters-Maalaea Bay- Pailolo Channel-Alenuihaha Channel-Big Island Leeward Waters-Big Island Southeast Waters.
