Fxhw60 phfo 171944 afdhfo area forecast discussion national weather service honolulu hi 944 am hst Sat aug 17 2019 Synopsis The high pressure ridge north of the hawaiian islands will weaken today with light trade winds forecast on Sunday and Monday. Expect increasing trade winds by the middle of next week along with elevated humidity levels and some enhanced shower activity as two low level troughs pass south of the state. Discussion Shower activity was enhanced this morning as a weak low level trough continues to drift through the islands. Numerous showers were observed over the typical windward and mauka areas with isolated to scattered showers developing over leeward slopes. This low level trough will drift west of the islands later today with decreasing showers through the afternoon hours. A mid-latitude trough passing through the central pacific will weaken the high pressure ridge north of the islands today, decreasing trade wind speeds on Sunday and Monday. Onshore sea breezes caused by day time surface heating will develop over each island with offshore land breezes each night. Drier trends are forecast for the next few days under the subsidence from a strong upper level ridge. The trade wind subsidence inversion heights will range from 5000 to 7000 feet through Monday afternoon. By Monday evening the weather pattern begins to change as additional low level troughs move into the hawaii region. The first of these trough arrives from Monday night through Tuesday morning with some enhanced showers developing mainly along windward slopes of each island. A second tropical disturbance is now forecast to pass south of the big island on Tuesday night with potentially less impacts on rainfall and humidity levels across the islands by Wednesday. Trade wind speeds will increase starting on Tuesday, as the ridge builds north of the islands and this trough passes to the south of the state. Moderate to locally breezy trades are forecast from Wednesday onward. Higher chances for elevated moisture levels and showers will linger over the big island from Tuesday to Thursday with lower precipitation impacts for the rest of the state. We will probably trend precipitation chances downward, in the afternoon forecast grids, across the western islands for the Wednesday through Thursday time periods. Moderate to locally breezy trades are forecast to continue on Friday and next Saturday as the high pressure ridge builds in north of the islands. An upper level cut off low drops in from the north likely enhancing shower regional shower activity especially in the overnight and early morning hours.

Aviation A 1024 mb surface high far to the northeast of the state will bring light to moderate easterly trade winds through this afternoon. This flow will help generate isolated showers along the windward slopes and coastal areas this afternoon, which are forecast to become scattered after Sun down. Brief MVFR conditions will remain possible tonight due to reduced visibility and mountain obscuration from low clouds and showers. Airmet sierra remains in effect through 20z for islands east of kauai due to tempo mountain obscuration above 2000 feet, though conditions will likely improve by late this morning. Marine A surface high pressure system far northeast of the state will gradually weaken this weekend, which will cause the trade winds to diminish slightly through early next week. A new surface high pressure system building far north of the state by the middle of next week is expected to cause the trade winds to gradually strengthen starting next Wednesday. We may see the return of small craft advisories for the typical windy areas around maui and the big island during the second half of next week. Small south and southwest swells will maintain background summertime surf along south facing shores this weekend. A large, long-period south-southwest swell arriving Monday is expected to peak Tuesday, then gradually lower through the rest of next week. Latest observations from the pago pago buoy is indicating the swell running higher than the wavewatch 3 model. This suggests surf heights may near high surf warning levels for a brief time during its peak along south facing shores on Tuesday. The current west swell produced by tropical cyclones in the northwest pacific will continue to slowly decline through Monday. Surf heights produced by this lingering swell will be largest along shorelines with a westerly exposure. A small northwest swell will be possible from next Thursday through Friday. Modest surf will persist along east facing shores today, then will slowly subside from Sunday through early next week as the trade winds weaken. For additional details on swells and surf, please see the latest collaborative nearshore swell and wind forecast for oahu (srdhfo) product. Hfo watches warnings advisories None. Discussion...

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program.
