HAWAIIAN ISLANDS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
400 AM HST MON JAN 23 2006

.SYNOPSIS...AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL LINGER OVER THE HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS TODAY. IT IS EXPECTED TO SLOWLY WEAKEN IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. IN TURN...OUR AIR MASS WILL BECOME MORE STABLE IN TIME. A
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BUILD FAR NORTH OF THE ISLANDS
TUESDAY...RESULTING IN AN INCREASE OF TRADE WINDS. THIS HIGH WILL
PERSIST FAR NORTHEAST OF THE ISLANDS THROUGH THE REST OF THE
WEEK...MAINTAINING LIGHT TO MODERATE TRADE WINDS TO OUR AREA.

&&

.DISCUSSION...CONVECTION OVER OAHU HAS FINALLY DECREASED IN THE
PAST FEW HOURS. THUS WILL LET THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD
ADVISORY FOR OAHU EXPIRE THIS MORNING...THOUGH THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAIN TO DEVELOP THROUGHOUT THE DAY CONTINUES. CONVECTION HAS
ALSO FLARED UP OVER THE WESTERN SLOPE OF MAUNA KEA AND NORTH KONA
LATE LAST NIGHT...THOUGH IT HAS ALSO SINCE DISSIPATED. KAUAI HAS
ALSO SEEN ITS SHARE OF HEAVY SHOWERS...THOUGH THE SHOWERS TRAVERSE
ACROSS QUITE RAPIDLY AND ARE NOT A PROBLEM AT TIME. THE UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WITH A COUPLE OF EMBEDDED LOWS REMAIN IN OUR VICINITY TODAY
AND WILL KEEP AIR MASS UNSTABLE OVER THE ISLANDS. FORECAST CHARTS
INDICATE THIS TROUGH WILL SLOWLY WEAKEN WITH ONE LOW DRIFTING SOUTH
BECOMING CUT OFF WHILE REST OF THE TROUGH SHIFTS EAST. THUS EXPECT
UNSETTLED WEATHER TO CONTINUE OVER OUR AREA TODAY. HARD TO PIN POINT
EXACTLY WHERE THE HEAVY SHOWERS OR EVEN THUNDERSTORMS TO HIT. HAVE
INCREASED THE POPS AND BROAD BRUSHED THE SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS TO MOST ZONES TODAY. STILL EXPECT THE WEATHER TO
SETTLE DOWN BEGINNING TONIGHT...AS AIR MASS COMING MORE STABLE IN
TIME.

A SURFACE LOW PRESSURE HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE ISLANDS...AND HAS
KEPT OUR TRADE WINDS ON LIGHT SIDE. THIS TROUGH IS TO SHIFT
EAST...WITH MODERATE TRADE WINDS RETURNING. ALSO A HIGH PRESSURE
FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL BUILD FAR NORTH OF THE ISLANDS BY TUESDAY.
EXPECT THE TRADE WINDS TO INCREASE TO MODERATE LEVEL BY THEN. THIS
HIGH WILL SETTLE TO THE FAR NORTHEAST OF THE ISLANDS TOWARDS THE
LATER PART OF THE WEEK AND WILL PREVAIL. IT WILL ALSO MAINTAIN LIGHT
TO MODERATE TRADE WINDS TO OUR AREA. MORE TYPICAL TRADE WIND WEATHER
IS TO RETURN THEN AS WELL.

&&

.MARINE...
MODERATE WINDS EAST OF THE ISLANDS HAVE GENERATED MODERATE SHORT
PERIOD EAST SWELL...AFFECTING OUR EAST FACING SHORES. EXPECT THIS
SWELL TO BE REINFORCED BY THE BUILDING TRADE WINDS IN THE COMING
DAYS. HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THE EAST FACING SHORES CONTINUES.
