(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxhw60 phfo 210628 afdhfo area forecast discussion national weather service honolulu hi 828 pm hst Tue aug 20 2019 Synopsis A surface ridge north of the area will maintain locally breezy trade winds over the islands. Expect showers to remain focused over windward and mountain areas. Discussion No changes to the forecast expected this evening. A surface ridge north of the islands will maintain a moderate to locally breezy trade wind pattern over the islands. A weakening trough south of the big island continues on its westward trek. This trough is partly responsible for the increase in moisture, particularly over the southern end of the state. Satellite derived precipitable water (pw) shows lower values should start filtering into the islands later tonight. As a result, shower activity over windward maui and the big island should be on the decrease overnight. The trade winds are expected to increase a bit more tomorrow (Wednesday) as the high associated with the ridge continues to build. The models remain in good agreement with a front far north of the islands moving southward through Thursday. This will help to disrupt the trade wind flow a bit during the second half of the week. The front will move to the west at the end of the week, and trade winds will rebound for the weekend. The bulk of the moisture associated with this front is expected to remain to the north of the islands, however some increase in shower activity is possible over kauai Friday. Aviation A moderate to locally strong trade wind regime will continue into Wednesday. Most of the cloudiness lies over the alenuihaha channel, the waters off the NE facing big island coast, and over the lee areas of the big island. Otherwise, skies are fair with minimal shower activity. Cloud bases are estimated above 3k feet with tops at 6k feet but as high as 9k feet with the showers. Although there are minimal showers now, we anticipate an increase overnight, not enough to warrant an airmet sierra, though. But will bring some brief periods of MVFR ceilings and vis to especially the windward and mountain areas. A few late night |
showers may also develop along the kona coast as well. Otherwise, vfr conditions will prevail overnight and into Wednesday morning. Airmet tango is not in effect as conditions are marginal at best for low level turb, which should hold through Wednesday. But we will monitor the situation closely and issue it if needed. Marine High pressure building northwest of the state will keep a moderate to locally strong trade wind flow in place over the next couple days. As a result, a small craft advisory (sca) remains in effect for the typically windy waters around maui and the big island. A front dropping southward and closer to the island chain late in the week, will ease the trade winds slightly Thursday night through Friday night. A new high building northeast of the islands will then strengthen the trades back to moderate and locally fresh levels over the weekend, with scas likely being required once again for the windier marine zones. The current south swell will peak tonight, then gradually lower late Wednesday into the weekend. A high surf advisory remains in effect for south facing shores of all islands through 6 am Thursday. A series of small long-period south and southwest swells will move through Sunday through early next week. A larger southwest swell is possible Tuesday through the middle of next week. Small northwest swells will linger over the next few days providing some out of season surf along north facing shores. Strengthening trade winds will give a boost in short period choppy surf along east facing shores through Wednesday night and again over the weekend.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
