Synopsis for hawaiian coastal waters - High pressure will build northwest of the islands and drift east during the next couple of days.

FXHW60 PHFO 180649 AFDHFO

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 849 PM HST Wed Apr 17 2024

SYNOPSIS
Mostly dry and pleasant trade wind conditions will prevail through next week. Trade winds will strengthen Thursday and continue into next week, with a slight weakening over the weekend. Clouds and brief showers will favor windward and mauka locations overnight through the mornings as areas of moisture move through periodically.

DISCUSSION
The latest model guidance has initialized well with the current pattern and depicts mostly dry conditions prevailing through next week as high pressure builds north of the state. The low- level flow has shifted out of the northeast and is expected to reach the breezy category through the day Thursday. Despite the dry conditions in place, a weak upper trough moving through combined with a remnant low-level moisture boundary settling south into the smaller islands this evening may be enough for a few light showers over north through northeast facing slopes, especially as the winds pick up late tonight into Thursday. This band of moisture will linger into Thursday night, then diminish.

The breezy trades will hold Friday, but ease into the light to moderate range over the weekend as a weakness forms in the ridge as a system passes far to the north. The southern extent of the mid- to upper-level trough will pass nearby to the north through this time, which could support a light increase in windward shower coverage through the overnight/morning periods. Rising upper heights along with a strengthening surface ridge to the north will support the dry conditions prevailing early next week with the easterly trades becoming breezy.

AVIATION
Surface high pressure northwest of the state will continue to drift eastward during the forecast period and help shift north northeasterly winds to northeasterly across the islands. Thus, this more typical tradewind pattern will bring shower activity to mainly windward locations. Expect brief periods of MVFR ceilings and visibility to be associated with this activity, especially for the western islands. VFR conditions elsewhere.

No AIRMETs are currently in effect.

MARINE
Moderate northeast trades will persist through the forecast period possibly strengthening slightly during the weekend.

Small surf along south facing shores will hold through Thursday as overlapping south swells maintain elevated surf through the end of the week. The current northwest swell will become increasingly north as it gradually subsides through Thursday. A small north swell will bring a modest bump to exposed shorelines during the latter half of the weekend. Surf along east facing shores will remain small.

HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
