AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
835 PM HST FRI DEC 12 2008

.SYNOPSIS...
A SLOW MOVING UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WEST OF KAUAI WILL MAINTAIN A MOIST
AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS ACROSS THE STATE THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO
THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE THIS
WEEKEND...MAINLY ACROSS KAUAI AND OAHU.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN FEATURE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNSETTLED WEATHER ACROSS HAWAII
CONTINUES TO ROTATE NEAR 40N169W...OR ABOUT 1500 MILES NORTH
NORTHWEST OF HONOLULU. THE AXIS OF THE UPPER TROUGH EXTENDS FROM THE
CENTER OF THE LOW TO ABOUT 15N170W. WHILE THE LOW MOVES VERY SLOWLY
OFF TO THE NORTH...IT WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY A ROLE IN ISLAND WEATHER
THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

EARLY THIS EVENING...CONVECTION HAS FLARED UP SOUTHWEST OF OAHU AND
KAUAI. ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY...A SHORTWAVE ROTATING AROUND THE BASE
OF THE THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH WHICH HELPED TO INVIGORATE THESE
SHOWERS AND EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS. WHILE THE WESTERN END OF THE
ISLAND CHAIN REMAINS IN THE CONVERGENT AND MOIST SOUTHERLY
FLOW...EPISODES OF HEAVY RAIN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE THROUGH THE WEEKEND OVER NIIHAU...KAUAI AND OAHU.

FORECAST MODELS APPEAR TO BE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT ON A LARGE
SCALE...AS THEY FEATURE THE PARENT LOW MOVING SLOWLY NORTH ON
SATURDAY AND THEN SLOWLY TRACKS THE LOW EASTWARD INTO THE EARLY PART
OF NEXT WEEK. IN ADDITION...THE MODELS ARE ALSO SHOWING A SURFACE
LOW DEVELOPING ALONG THE TROUGH WEST OF KAUAI ON SATURDAY WHICH WILL
SUPPORT ADDITIONAL CONVECTION AROUND THE WESTERN END OF THE STATE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. AS THE LOW IS FORECAST TO SLOWLY LIFT NORTH
AND SHIFT EASTWARD SUNDAY NIGHT...SHOWER ACTIVITY ACTIVITY MAY BE
SPREADING TO MAUI COUNTY AND PARTS OF THE BIG ISLAND AS WELL.
DETAILS WITH THIS ARE HARD TO PIN DOWN RIGHT NOW AS IT IS THE FINER
DETAILS THE THE MODELS HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH SUCH AS TIMING...TRACK
AND INTENSITY. WITH THE CONTINUAL MOIST AIRMASS FEEDING INTO THE
CONVERGENT SOUTHERLY FLOW...AND THE ALREADY SATURATED GROUNDS...THE
THREAT FOR FLOODING REMAINS A POSSIBILITY. AT THE MOMENT...THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR KAUAI...NIIHAU...AND OAHU
THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

FORECAST MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW PERSISTENT TROUGHING WEST OF THE
STATE THROUGH NEXT WEEK AND MAINTAINS A MOIST SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY
FLOW ACROSS THE ISLANDS. THIS COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER WET WEEK AHEAD
BUT WILL HOLD OFF ON LEANING THIS WAY UNTIL SUBSEQUENT MODEL RUNS
GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THIS POTENTIAL SCENARIO.

&&

.MARINE...
THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES OF KAUAI AND
NIIHAU AND NORTH FACING SHORES OF OAHU CONTINUES TONIGHT. THE SWELL
AT BUOY 51001 HAS MAINTAINED AT ADVISORY LEVELS SIGNS OF DROPPING.
WAVEWATCH III MODEL GUIDANCE SHOWS A SIMILAR TREND...WITH THE SWELL
STEADY THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT BEFORE BEGINNING TO SLOWLY
SUBSIDE.

THE SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONTINUES THROUGH TONIGHT AS WELL. THE
COMBINATION OF THE NORTHWEST SWELL AND WIND WAVES NEAR THE ISLANDS
WILL CREATE COMBINED SEAS OF 10 FEET.

&&

.HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON FOR NIIHAU-KAUAI-
OAHU.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM HST SATURDAY FOR NIIHAU-KAUAI
WINDWARD-KAUAI LEEWARD-OAHU NORTH SHORE-OAHU KOOLAU.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 6 AM HST SATURDAY FOR KAUAI NORTHWEST
