Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 344 PM HST Fri Aug 7 2020

SYNOPSIS. A typical trade wind weather pattern can be expected through the weekend and on into the middle of next week thanks to high pressure far north of the area. Clouds and passing showers will tend to favor windward and mauka areas with just a few brief showers expected over select leeward locations.

DISCUSSION. Surface high pressure is centered far north of the area. This places the islands in a moderate to breezy trade wind environment. Moisture embedded in the trades is providing for some passing light showers over some windward and mauka areas with leeward areas being generally dry. There will likely be some increase in shower coverage later tonight and on into the morning hours as an area of moisture seen on satellite imagery upstream of the state moves in from the east.

The area of high pressure will remain to our north through the weekend and on into the middle of next week. Little day to day change in wind speeds or direction is expected. Satellite imagery shows plenty of moisture upstream of the islands. Even though the airmass will be more stable, this moisture will tend to interact with island terrain and continue to allow for passing showers over windward and mauka areas especially during the late night through mid morning hours with a possible second maximum during the late afternoon and early evening hours. Models indicate a drier airmass will be in place early next week but another mid level low may be in the island vicinity which could keep shower probabilities a bit elevated especially for windward and mauka areas.

AVIATION. Moderate trades predominantly out of the east have been relatively dry today suggesting AIRMET SIERRA will not be required in the near term. Improved moisture spreading back into the area during the latter half of the period will bring an increased likelihood of periodic showers and MVFR/mountain obscuration for windward areas.

AIRMET TANGO remains in effect over and immediately south thru west of mountains below 9000 feet for tempo moderate turbulence.

MARINE. Breezy trade winds will trend up this weekend as the high north- northeast of the area strengthens. The Small Craft Advisory (SCA) will expand to include Maui windward waters, the Kaiwi Channel, and Oahu leeward waters by 6am HST Saturday through Sunday afternoon. The current SCA in effect for the typically windier waters and the around Maui County and the Big Island has also been extended through Sunday afternoon. Winds are expected to back down again early next week.

South facing shore surf will return to background levels by tomorrow and stay below summer average into next week. Small short period southeast swell will continue, with the Big Island blocking some of that energy from reaching the smaller islands. Surf along east facing shores will build through the weekend as trade winds strengthen. Although, surf heights should remain below the advisory levels along east facing shores.

A small north-northwest swell will provide a bit of energy to the north facing shores, keeping surf just above flat tonight and Saturday.

HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM HST Sunday for Maalaea Bay- Pailolo Channel-Alenuihaha Channel-Big Island Leeward Waters-Big Island Southeast Waters.

Small Craft Advisory from 6 AM Saturday to 6 PM HST Sunday for Oahu Leeward Waters-Kaiwi Channel-Maui County Windward Waters.

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.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
