Synopsis for hawaiian coastal waters - High pressure northeast of the state will move away easing trade wind speeds. A trough developing north of the islands on Wednesday will drift near or over the area Thursday through Saturday, further easing winds. An upper low will move across the islands bringing unstable weather Friday into the weekend.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 350 AM HST Tue May 7 2024
SYNOPSIS
A low pressure system moving into the Central Pacific basin north of Hawaii will weaken the subtropical ridge and keep light to moderate trade winds in the forecast this week. An unstable environment will enhance shower activity across the Hawaii region through the weekend with the highest rainfall amounts favoring the windward and mountain areas. The potential for slow moving heavy showers and thunderstorms are growing from Friday into the weekend as a developing upper level low stalls out over the islands.
DISCUSSION
Weak upper level troughing will continue to enhance trade wind showers today. A low level cloud band, the remnants of an old East Pacific cold front, will drift through the islands on Thursday as an upper level trough digs into the Hawaii region from the north.
A combination of the low level cloud band and upper level forcing from the upper trough will produce increasing wet weather trends across the state from Thursday onward.
A weakening subtropical ridge north of the islands this week will keep light to moderate trade winds in the forecast through at least Sunday. Stronger winds aloft are creating warning level wind speeds over the Big Island summits of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea this morning, these strong winds may continue above advisory levels through tonight. A High Wind Warning was issued this morning for the highest summits on the Big Island. Elsewhere in the lower elevation areas, a hybrid sea breeze and trade wind pattern will develop along terrain sheltered leeward areas. The wind pattern changes again by this weekend, as an upper level low sets up directly over the islands producing a surface trough reflection over the islands and light to moderate east to southeasterly winds.
A rather unstable weather pattern develops over the Hawaiian Islands in the latest model guidance from Friday through Sunday as the upper low deepens and stalls over the state. This pattern change may bring the potential for slow moving heavy rain showers and thunderstorms over some islands in the state. The heavy rain and thunderstorm impacts with this upper low will vary greatly depending upon the precise location where the low center sets up relative to each island. If the upper low moves in north and west of the island chain then the northwest islands of Kauai and Oahu would be under a higher rainfall threat levels. If the upper low sets up more over the south and east section of the state, then Maui County and the Big Island will see higher threats for heavy rain and thunderstorms. Rainfall coverage was increased and isolated thunderstorms were added to the forecast for this end of this week to account for more consistency in the run to run medium range forecast guidance. The threat for flash flooding over all islands is growing with time, however it remains too early to pin down the highest flood threat areas with a Flood Watch product.
More island by island impacts will be revealed as the forecast time period grows shorter, and the upper low track with weather impacts evolve over time. Stay tuned.
AVIATION
Moderate trade winds will prevail across the island chain today, then ease up a bit tonight especially over the western islands.
Low clouds and showers will continue to favor windward and mauka areas, with MVFR cigs/vsbys possible as showers move through. A stray shower may spill leeward at times, but predominantly VFR conditions are expected here.
AIRMET Sierra remains in effect for windward sections of Kauai and Oahu. Conditions should improve here later this morning.
MARINE
Fresh to strong trade winds will slowly ease through Wednesday as a 1030 mb high 1000 nm north northeast of the islands moves off to the northeast. A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) remains in effect for the typically windy waters around the Big Island and Maui County through this afternoon and continues to look like it may be dropped by this evening as winds ease to moderate to locally fresh. A surface trough will form north of the state Wednesday.
As this feature drifts southward near or over the islands Thursday into Saturday, the trade winds could ease further, and chances for heavy showers will likely increase.
Near shore buoys are showing signs of fading energy in the 12 to 16 sec range suggesting the current south swell is slowly beginning to fade today into Wednesday. Forerunners from a larger and longer lived south- southwest swell will arrive Wednesday, and surf is expected rise near, or to, the High Surf Advisory level during the peak of the swell Thursday and Friday. This swell will gradually decline through the weekend.
A small northwest swell of around 3 feet will peak today, then decline Wednesday. Wind- driven waves will gradually decline to around May average today, then drop to below average for the rest of the week.
HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
High Wind Warning until 6 PM HST this evening for Big Island Summits.
Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM HST this evening for Maalaea Bay- Pailolo Channel-Alenuihaha Channel-Big Island Leeward Waters-Big Island Southeast Waters.
