Fxhw60 phfo 231952 afdhfo area forecast discussion national weather service honolulu hi 952 am hst Fri aug 23 2019 Synopsis Moderate to breezy trades will continue through the weekend, periodically delivering clouds and showers to windward areas while most leeward areas remain mostly dry. Trade wind speeds may diminish by the middle of next week. Discussion As a weak surface trough N of the islands weakens and drifts NW over the next couple of days, surface high pressure will strengthen far n of the area, and trade wind speeds will increase slightly. The locally breezy trade winds will continue through early next week, but are then expected to weaken by mid-week as the high weakens and a low passes far N of the area. With no major sources of moisture or instability expected through the weekend, trade winds will periodically deliver clouds and showers that will primarily dampen windward areas, while most leeward areas remain dry. More significant moisture areas may become embedded in the trade flow in about a week, but confidence in that is close to zero. Latest satellite images show an area of broken to overcast stable and showery low clouds immediately upstream of the islands, but skies over most island areas are mostly sunny to partly cloudy, with radar detecting only isolated showers. Model guidance indicates that this moisture patch will move over kauai and oahu later today into tonight, fueling a few windward showers before moving W of the area by morning. Another slug of moisture passing S of the big island may fuel some windward showers Saturday night, but nothing significant in the way of accumulation or coverage is expected. Aviation High pressure remains north of hawaii with nothing to disrupt the

easterly trade winds which will continue most likely through the weekend.VFR conditions will dominate most areas across the state with maybe a few passing, infrequent MVFR conditions on the windward side of the mountains with clouds and maybe a shower and lower visibility. It will be breezy again this afternoon so there is a chance for some pockets of low level turbulence south and west of the mountains. Other than that, no airmets are expected through this forecast period. Marine High pressure to the north will maintain moderate to locally strong trades through the weekend. A small craft advisory (sca) is posted through Sunday for the typically windy waters around maui and the big island. Another front is forecast to pass north of the state next week with east trade winds weakening. The current south swell will continue to subside today with mainly background energy expected over the weekend into early next week. A larger southwest swell is expected to arrive Tuesday and will likely peak Wednesday or Thursday near advisory levels. Small northwest swells will linger over the next few days providing some out of season surf along north facing shores. Breezy trades will continue to produce small choppy surf along east facing shores over the next few days. Hfo watches warnings advisories Small craft advisory until 6 pm hst Sunday for maalaea bay- pailolo channel-alenuihaha channel-big island leeward waters-big island southeast waters. 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.
