Synopsis

A disturbance moving across the area will bring an increase in showers through tonight. The focus of these showers will likely be over interior and leeward areas during the afternoon and windward areas at night. Light winds will continue today, with moderate trade winds returning Friday. A drier air mass will move in Friday afternoon, with fair weather conditions expected through early next week.

Discussion

Satellite and radar imagery early this morning continue to show a band of showers along a boundary over the Alenuihaha Channel. The land breezes that developed overnight are helping to keep showers offshore, but an area of enhanced moisture over the eastern half of the state will allow some of these showers to impact windward Maui and the Big Island, with isolated showers possible along windward and mauka areas of the remaining islands. Light winds across the area today will allow sea breezes to redevelop this afternoon which will lead to another round of afternoon clouds and showers over interior and leeward areas. Guidance continues to show the tail-end of a shortwave trough lingering around the region which will help to enhance some shower activity across mainly Maui and the Big Island. This trough will also help to enhance summit winds on the Big Island today, with low-end wind advisory winds expected through this afternoon. As the trough exits the region tonight expect land breezes to develop.
Starting Friday, a weak upper level ridge will build overhead and a surface high will build northeast of the state. A ridge extending from the parent high will fluctuate just north of the state into early next week. With the ridge staying just north of the state we should see stable conditions with light to moderate trades. For the western half of the state, the winds will be lighter with winds out of the east to east-southeast direction. Due to the lighter winds, we could see sea breezes develop over the interior and leeward areas. Over the eastern half of the state we should see our typical trade wind pattern. Overall, stable with mostly dry conditions are expected this weekend into early next week.
Guidance then shows a front stalling far northwest of the state towards the middle of next week, with moisture from the front getting absorbed by a developing low near the dateline. As this low moves northeastward it looks like the tail-end of a front may impact the state late next week.

Aviation

Light to moderate east-northeast trades are expected today, although they should be light enough for some localized sea breezes to develop in the more sheltered areas. An area of enhanced moisture will keep some showers and MVFR cigs/vsbys around windward sections of mainly the Big Island this morning, with fewer showers over windward areas of the smaller isles. A few showers will be possible over the island interiors this afternoon, before fizzling quickly this evening. Shower activity will favor windward slopes and coasts tonight, although it should be rather sparse with mostly VFR conditions prevailing.
AIRMET Sierra remains in effect for mountain obscuration for windward sections of the Big Island. Conditions will likely be slow to improve through the day.

Marine

A weak surface ridge stretched over waters just north of Kauai will support light and variable winds as it remains nearly stationary through Thursday. The ridge will move north and strengthen from Friday into the weekend, supporting moderate to locally fresh trade winds that will favor an E-ESE direction.
The current medium period (12-14 seconds) NE (040) swell is expected to remain near its peak through this afternoon, then gradually decline through Saturday. A High Surf Advisory (HSA) for east facing shores remains in effect, but will likely be canceled late this afternoon.
A pair of long-period NW swells are poised to generate high surf along exposed north and west facing shores over the weekend and into the coming week. The first is expected to build in this evening and peak early Friday. A similarly- sized (or slightly smaller) NW swell is expected from late Saturday into Monday. Either of these swell events could necessitate the issuance of a High Surf Advisory. A sustained WNW swell is expected from late Tuesday into Thursday of the coming week.
For those zones exposed to the NW swell, combined seas are expected to exceed above Small Craft Advisory (SCA) criteria beginning late tonight. Conditions are expected to persist through through Friday evening and possibly beyond. Additionally, an SCA for winds may be needed around Maui and the Big Island this weekend if east winds rise above SCA speeds in response to the strengthening ridge.
