AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
400 AM HST WED FEB 22 2006

.SYNOPSIS...
EXPECT RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS TO DECREASE THIS MORNING OVER THE
SMALLER ISLANDS. LIGHT TRADES WILL RETURN FOR A DAY OR TWO...WHICH
WILL BRING SHOWERS MAINLY TO WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS OF ALL THE
ISLANDS. ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND COULD
BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN.
&&

.DISCUSSION...
HIGH CLOUDS ARE CLEARING THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS FROM THE EAST...
AND EXPECT THIS TREND TO CONTINUE TODAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL WIND FLOW
BECOMES WEST TO EAST OVER THE ISLANDS.

THE OVERNIGHT HOURS BROUGHT SEVERAL BATCHES OF RAIN TO OAHU. THE
HIGHEST 24 HOUR RAINFALL TOTAL ON OAHU FROM 2 AM YESTERDAY UNTIL 2
AM THIS MORNING WAS THE NUUANU UPPER GAGE WHICH REPORTED 4.98
INCHES. DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS FROM 8 PM UNTIL 2 AM...1.42
INCHES WAS REPORTED AT THAT LOCATION...THE MOST PICKED UP BY ANY
OAHU GAGE AT THAT TIME. THESE NUMBERS PALE IN COMPARISON TO THE 24
HOUR TOTAL AT THE MOUNT WAIALEALE GAGE ON KAUAI...WHICH REPORTED
7.44 INCHES. JUST OVER 7 INCHES...7.10...OF THAT FELL BETWEEN 2 AM
AND 2 PM TUESDAY. NOT TO BE OUTDONE...THE OHEO GULCH GAGE ON MAUI
PICKED UP 5.68 INCHES BETWEEN 8 PM AND 2 AM.

WHILE RADAR STILL INDICATES RAIN MOVING DOWN THE ISLAND CHAIN...THE
RAIN IS MOVING...AND NOT ANCHORING ITSELF...OR TRAINING OVER ANY ONE
PARTICULAR AREA. THIS IS HELPING TO AVOID SOME OF THE FLOODING
PROBLEMS WE SAW EARLIER.

WILL BE LEAVING THE MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
FORECAST FOR THIS MORNING...BUT ANTICIPATE FEW THUNDERSTORMS...AND
FOR THEM TO BECOME LESS FREQUENT THROUGHOUT THE MORNING HOURS.

THE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE WEATHER PATTERN FOR
THE NEXT 12 TO 24 HOURS. THE MODELS ARE PICKING UP ON THE UPPER
LEVEL LOW TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE ISLANDS...AND LIFTING IT TO THE
NORTH. THERE IS SOME DISAGREEMENT AS TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE UPPER
LEVEL TROUGH DEVELOPING FROM THIS SYSTEM...BUT THE CONSENSUS IS TO
KEEP THE TROUGH EAST OF THE MAIN HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. A SURFACE LOW IS
FORECAST TO DEVELOP WITH THIS SYSTEM...BUT AGAIN IS EXPECTED TO STAY
TO THE EAST OF THE ISLANDS. HOWEVER...THE PRESENCE OF THIS SYSTEM
COULD HELP TO BRING MORE MOISTURE UP FROM THE TROPICS...AND IT COULD
BE CARRIED IN ON THE TRADE WIND FLOW.

ANOTHER MID TO UPPER LOW IS TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE ISLANDS...AND
AGAIN THE MODELS AGREE WITH THE PLACEMENT FOR THE NEXT 12 HOURS OR
SO. BEYOND THAT...THERE IS DISAGREEMENT AS TO THE PLACEMENT AND
STRENGTH OF THE LOW. THE MODELS DEVELOP ANOTHER MID TO UPPER LOW
DEVELOPING WEST OF THIS SYSTEM ON THURSDAY...WITH THE TWO SYSTEMS
MERGING LATE THURSDAY. THE PLACEMENT OF THIS LOW WILL DETERMINE WHEN
AND WHERE HIGH CLOUDS MOVE OVER THE STATE LATER THIS WEEK. THE
PLACEMENT OF BOTH UPPER LOWS WILL HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF
RAIN BROUGHT TO THE AREA LATER THIS WEEK.

THE MODELS ARE IN GOOD AGREEMENT WITH A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW
DEVELOPING NORTH OF 40N THIS WEEKEND...WITH AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
DIGGING IN TOWARDS THE ISLANDS. IF THIS CONTINUES TO PAN OUT...WE
COULD SEE SOME MORE RAIN FOR THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.

&&

.HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
NONE.
