AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
830 PM HST WED MAR 22 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
A KONA LOW WILL PERSIST NORTHWEST OF KAUAI THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.
THE ATMOSPHERE OVER THE ISLANDS REMAINS UNSTABLE AS THE LOW DRAWS
TROPICAL MOISTURE UP FROM THE SOUTH. THE THREAT OF HEAVY SHOWERS
CONTINUES THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER LINE OF HEAVY RAIN WITH EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS IS AFFECTING
KAUAI THIS MOMENT. THIS LINE IS MOVING EAST AT ABOUT 10 KNOTS AND IS
POISED TO REACH OAHU LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY MORNING. THERE
ARE ALSO ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN DEVELOPING JUST SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST OF
OAHU AT TIME. AT ANY RATE...KAUAI WILL REMAIN UNDER HEAVY RAIN FOR
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS...WHILE OAHU MAY SEE ITS SHARE AS THE NIGHT
PROGRESSES. AND SO GOES ANOTHER BOUT OF UNSETTLED WEATHER FOR THE
WESTERN ISLANDS.

A TROUGH CONTINUES WEST OF THE ISLANDS WITH SOUTHERLY FLOW OVER THE
ISLANDS. VERY MOIST AIR FROM THE TROPICS IS BEING DRAWN UP OVER OUR
AREA. ANY WEAK DISTURBANCES THAT PASS THROUGH THE ISLANDS AT THE
UPPER LEVEL WILL PROVIDE THE INSTABILITY AND SET OFF A ROUND OF
HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS. ONE SUCH DISTURBANCE IS IN THE PROCESS
OF MOVING ACROSS THE STATE AT TIME. THUS EXPECT UNSETTLED WEATHER TO
LAST THROUGH THURSDAY AND EVEN EARLY FRIDAY. LOOKS LIKE THE WEATHER
WILL SETTLE DOWN A LITTLE BY THE WEEKEND AS THE TROUGH WEST OF THE
ISLANDS IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN. UNFORTUNATELY...FORECAST CHARTS STILL
HINT CURRENT WEATHER PATTERN WILL STILL PREVAIL EARLY NEXT WEEK. AND
AS LONG AS THE TROUGH PERSISTS...THE CHANCE OF MORE HEAVY SHOWERS
REMAINS.

PREVIOUS PACKAGE IS ON TRACK. NO UPDATE AT THIS TIME.

.HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
