FXHW60 PHFO 222136 CCB AFDHFO
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI Issued by National Weather Service San Diego CA 1130 AM HST Tue Apr 22 2025
SYNOPSIS
A deepening low far northwest of the state will drift southward and linger west of the state over the next several days.
Unsettled weather conditions are expected today through Wednesday, with scattered showers across the state especially during the afternoon hours. Heavier showers are likely around Kauai and Niihau, with isolated thunderstorms possible, later today and into Wednesday.
DISCUSSION
No significant changes to the forecast this morning. The surface low is about 800 miles to the northwest, with the associated front about 500 miles northwest of Kauai early this morning. Thunderstorms have been observed ahead of the front overnight, including some making it into the northwest offshore waters. The GFS and ECMWF continue to be in good agreement with the surface system and its associated strengthening upper level low sinking south over the next few days.
While both models bring precipitable water (PW) values well above normal (1.5 to 1.7) over the western islands, the ECMWF is the wetter of the two models. The 2 am sounding from Lihue saw PW increase from 1.18 inches yesterday afternoon to 1.59 inches.
Meanwhile, the Hilo sounding was 1.37 inches at 2 am. PW values are expected to continue to increase over the western end of the state.
Both models bring in below normal 500 mb temperatures of -10 to - 12C. The 2 am sounding had -10C at 500 mb for Lihue and -08C for Hilo.
This amount of moisture and instability continues to support the heavier showers and thunderstorms in the forecast over the western islands. Models continue to keep the system just west of Kauai, which will keep Kauai and Niihau as the main focus for the heavier showers, and thus the ones under the Flood Watch starting at noon today.
Southerly flow over the remainder of the state will bring increased moisture which will result in produce humid conditions and scattered showers. With PW values being so far above normal, some brief downpours are possible especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Widespread rainfall is not expected for rest of the state, but some showery conditions will be possible at times.
Thursday into Friday, the upper level low should lift further north and away from the state which should bring the return of stable conditions, although somewhat unsettle weather may continue near Kauai. Winds will continue to remain light to moderate and out of the southeast direction, which will produce warm and humid conditions through the rest of the week. Trade winds should return sometime during the first half of next week.
AVIATION
Winds will veer southerly in advance of a developing low pressure system to the northwest of Kauai today. This should focus showers over south-facing coasts and slopes, along with some sea breeze development bringing low ceilings and showers to north and east- facing coasts and slopes as well. The proximity of the low could bring +RA and isol TSRA to the western end of the state beginning this afternoon.
MVFR/IFR conds will be possible in any SHRA/TSRA, especially over Kauai where the bulk of the showers will be focused. Otherwise VFR prevails.
No AIRMETs are currently in effect, though AIRMET Sierra will likely be needed later today for Kauai, and possibly Oahu, as showers increase.
MARINE
A low roughly 700 NM northwest of Kauai will dig south today before stalling roughly 500 NM northwest of Kauai Wednesday. In response, gentle to moderate east southeast winds will continue to veer southerly around the western end of the state and moderate to locally fresh southeast will develop over the eastern end of the state. The western end of the state will have the highest chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms due to the proximity of the low. The low is expected to move north Friday into the weekend allowing winds to gradually ease and shift more easterly.
A 2-3 foot, 12-14 second northwest swell will peak today, providing a little boost in surf along north and west facing shores. This swell will subside into Wednesday. Expect minimal surf late Wednesday through Friday. A slightly larger small, long period northwest swell is expected to fill in over the weekend.
A small, long period south-southwest swell is filling in this morning with wave energy increasing in the 14 to 18 second band range as seen in the Barbers Point, Kaumalapau and Pear Harbor near shore CDIP buoys. This new swell is expected push surf along south facing shores above summer average as it peaks tonight and holds into Wednesday. The swell will slowly decline the rest of the week.
Surf along east facing shores will remain near or below average due to the lack of strong trade winds over or upstream of the islands.
East shore surf may see some side shore chop wrap in from the southeasterly wind swell over the next several days.
