Synopsis for hawaiian coastal waters.. A surface trough north of kauai will gradually dissipate through tonight.

The trade will start trending down Monday while trending southeast over the smaller islands.

SYNOPSIS. Moderate to breezy easterly trade winds will return today and persist through the weekend, with clouds and showers favoring windward and mountain locations. Windward shower coverage could increase late Friday through Saturday night as an upper disturbance moves through from north to south. Warm and humid conditions may return early next week as the trade winds diminish in response to a cold front passing far to the north.
DISCUSSION. The surface trough analyzed near Kauai that disrupted the trade winds through the first half of the week will begin to retreat westward and away from the area through Friday. A pattern transition will result locally with easterly trade winds returning from east to west as high pressure builds to the north. This combined with rising upper heights and plenty of mid-level dry air will translate to more of a stable trade wind regime through tonight. Showers will favor the typical windward and mountain locations - with the best coverage likely through the overnight and early morning periods.
Windward shower coverage may increase late Friday through Saturday night as an upper low drops southward into the area. Some showers could spill over into leeward locations as the inversion lifts/weakens and the trades become breezy. In addition to the increasing shower coverage, a thunderstorm or two can't be ruled out over the Big Island slopes through the afternoon hours Friday and Saturday.
Guidance remains in decent agreement early next week and shows the previously discussed upper low briefly drifting south of the state Sunday through Sunday night, then lifting back through the area and phasing with a shortwave trough passing far to the north Monday through Tuesday. Subtropical ridge will weaken once again as the attendant cold front passes to the north. If this scenario evolves, a land and sea breeze regime with warm and humid conditions will return and continue through the first half of next week. Clouds and showers will shift back over interior and leeward locations through the afternoon hours.
AVIATION. Light trade winds appear to be returning near Maui and the Big Island early this morning. The background flow remains light and variable in the vicinity of the smaller islands west of Maui. Local land breezes are dominating the low-level flow over most of the individual islands. The land breezes have kept low clouds to a minimum over most areas. However, scattered to broken low clouds and isolated showers are moving into the windward side of the Big Island. This may cause brief MVFR conditions along the Big Island windward slopes this morning. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to prevail over most areas this morning.
Light to moderate trade winds are forecast to return across the entire state later today. The low-level trade wind flow may bring some low clouds and brief showers to the windward sections on some of the islands later today and tonight.
No AIRMETS are currently in effect, and none are anticipated through this afternoon.
MARINE. A surface high passing north of the islands today through Friday then stalling north-northeast over the weekend will result in a boost in the trade winds with speeds reaching locally strong for waters around Maui County and south of the Big Island between today and Sunday. The trades are then expected to trend down while becoming southeast Monday, then hold through Wednesday as the high weakens.
The arrival of the northwest has resulted in a small to moderate bump along the north and west facing shores. This swell is slated to peak today followed by slow decline through Friday. Expect a small to moderate, long- period west- northwest swell to arrive next Monday night and peak Tuesday, followed by a slow decline. A small short period west- northwest to northwest pulse is expected reach our north and west facing shores next week Wednesday night.
A continuous stream of small, but long-period swell from the south and southwest will maintain small surf along south facing shores through next week Wednesday. Surf along the east facing shores will be on the rise Friday and Saturday when the trades turn breezy. Expect surf to build to small to moderate heights, then start diminishing Monday as the trade winds weaken.
