Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 328 PM HST Thu Jul 29 2021

SYNOPSIS.

Breezy trades will focus clouds and showers over windward and mauka areas through the forecast period. A drying trend featuring limited shower coverage and intensity is forecast this weekend into next week.

DISCUSSION.

Precipitable water values generally range from around 1.6 to 1.9 inches across the state, solidly above normal values for the date which check in just shy of 1.40". The shallow trade inversion has nonetheless rendered the bulk of this moisture, which resides in the 6-20kft layer, inaccessible to the boundary layer. Conditions therefore remain relatively dry and clouds rather thin even along windward slopes this afternoon. Leeward Big Island represents the lone exception due to diurnal heating upslope. A couple of heavy showers developed as a result, but this activity will dissipate with the onset of nocturnal stabilization later this evening.

Mid-level heights will steadily rise through the end of the week as the height field rebounds from the departing upper trough. By Sunday, longwave ridge amplification will develop over the central and north-central Pacific at Hawaii's approximate longitude. This ridge will be anchored by a closed mid-level high characterized by 500mb heights as high as 595dm centered over northern portions of the state. As surface high pressure over the eastern Pacific strengthens in response, this will place the Hawaiian Islands firmly downstream of the strongest subsidence. As a result, breezy trades will likely undergo further strengthening while persistent dry advection from the east maintains a strong degree of stability. This is expected to translate to a dry trades pattern characterized by limited showers over windward slopes during the day and a greater coverage of light showers at night and in the early mornings.

AVIATION.

Surface high pressure to the north of the islands will maintain a moderate to locally strong trade wind flow into tomorrow. AIRMET Tango remains in effect for low level mechanical turbulence to the lee of the mountains on all islands. Anticipating this AIRMET to remain in place over the next several days. Expect clouds and showers to remain focused over windward and mountain areas in the trade wind flow. Brief MVFR conditions are possible, but not anticipating any significant mountain obscuration.

MARINE.

High pressure far north of the state will slowly drift eastward and build from Friday into the weekend. Trade winds will begin to gradually strengthen tonight through the weekend. Widespread strong trades are expected over the Hawaiian waters by Sunday. The Small Craft Advisory has been expanded and extended through the weekend. This SCA will likely need to be expanded in coverage sometime over the weekend as the trades increase further.

Surf along east facing shores will remain small through Friday, then trend up over the weekend in response to strengthening trades locally and upstream of the Hawaiian Islands.

Southerly swell activity will remain rather low for this time of the year with just background swells expected from the south and southeast. Nearly flat conditions will continue for north and west facing shores into early next week.

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