HAWAIIAN ISLANDS SYNOPTIC DISCUSSION AND GUIDANCE...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
1 PM HST TUE JUN 05 2001

...UPDATED FOR URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY MAUI COUNTY...

SUMMARY...MODERATE TRADES WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE STATE DUE TO HIGH
PRESSURE FAR NORTH OF THE ISLANDS. HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ARE POSSIBLE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS DUE TO AN UPPER LOW JUST
NORTHEAST OF OAHU.

DISCUSSION...EXPECT THE ISLANDS TO REMAIN WITHIN A BELT OF 10 TO 25
MPH TRADES THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD. MODELS MOVE THE CENTER OF
HIGH PRESSURE TO THE EAST...BUT THE PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE
ISLANDS CHANGES LITTLE THROUGH THE NEXT FIVE DAYS. AN UPPER LOW
REMAINS OVER THE STATE WITH ITS CENTER JUST NORTHEAST OF OAHU.
MODELS KEEP IT NEARLY STATIONARY FOR 24 TO 48 HOURS BEFORE MOVING IT
OFF TO THE SOUTHWEST AND WEAKENING IT. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE HAS BEEN
FEEDING INTO OUR AREA FROM THE EAST SUSTAINING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. THESE WILL OCCUR AS LONG AS THE CENTER OF THE UPPER
LOW IS OVER US FOR THE NEXT DAY OR TWO. HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED
THUNDERSTORMS FORMED OVER WINDWARD AND MAUKA SECTIONS OF OAHU THIS
MORNING...BUT THESE ARE POSSIBLE ANYWHERE ACROSS THE STATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TOMORROW. POWELL
