AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
831 PM HST WED JUN 9 2010

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE FAR NORTHEAST OF THE ISLANDS WILL PRODUCE FRESH TO
LOCALLY STRONG AND GUSTY TRADES THROUGH FRIDAY. TRADES WILL WEAKEN
SLIGHTLY THIS WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK. LIGHT SHOWERS WILL FOCUS
OVER WINDWARD AND MOUNTAIN AREAS INTO THE WEEKEND...THEN LIKELY
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE SUBTROPICAL HIGH LOCATED FAR NORTHEAST OF THE STATE WILL PRODUCE
FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW. A
WIND ADVISORY CONTINUES FOR SELECT TYPCIAL WINDY AREAS THROUGH LATE
THURSDAY AFTERNOON. THESE WINDS ARE CURRENTLY CARRYING SCATTERED LOW
CLOUDS AND ISOLATED SHOWERS OVER WINDWARD COASTAL WATERS TONIGHT.
BROKEN WINDWARD AND MAUKA CLOUD BUILDUPS ARE OBSERVED ON VISIBLE AND
IR SATELLITE. WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS A WEAK TROUGH ALOFT CENTERED
AROUND 100 MILES WEST OF LIHUE MOVING TO THE NORTHWEST. THIS TROUGH
WILL WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS AND BECOME A NON-FACTOR IN THE
WEATHER ACROSS THE STATE FOR THE SHORT-TERM AS THE MIDLEVEL
INVERSIONS REMAIN STRONG. ONLY ISOLATED LIGHT SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED
TONIGHT. THE SITUATION WILL CHANGE LITTLE FOR TOMORROW WITH STRONG
WINDS AND ISOLATED WINDWARD SHOWERS. WINDS WILL DECREASE SLIGHTLY ON
FRIDAY AS A NORTH PACIFIC STORM BEGINS TO WEAKEN AND PUSH THE
SUBTROPICAL HIGH FURTHER AWAY FROM HAWAII. THAT BEING SAID...WINDS
MAY STILL BE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY GOING ON FRIDAY
FOR SELECT AREAS ACROSS THE STATE.

BY SATURDAY...WINDS SHOULD WEAKEN TO MODERATE TRADE BREEZES THROUGH
THE WEEKEND AND THEN INCREASE TO MODERATE/FRESH LEVELS THROUGH THE
FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. A SEASONABLY LATE UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
BEGIN DIGGING SOUTHWARD TOWARDS THE STATE BEGINNING LATE FRIDAY
STOPPING JUST NORTH OF THE ISLANDS BY SUNDAY. INSTABILITY WILL NOT
BE TOO IMPRESSIVE...BUT THE VERTICAL PROFILE OF THE TROUGH SHOULD BE
SUFFICIENT TO LIFT THE INVERSION LEVEL. ALONG WITH A COINCIDENT
BOOST IN AVAILABLE BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE... SHOWER
COVERAGE/INTENSITY WILL INCREASE FOR WINDWARD ZONES AS EARLY AS
SUNDAY AND WILL PROVIDE A WET TRADE WIND PATTERN THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
WHILE WINDWARD AND MAUKA SIDES OF THE ISLANDS WILL SEE MOST OF THE
SHOWERS. LEEWARD AREAS WILL SEE ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AS
WELL...ESPECIALLY DURING OVERNIGHT HOURS.

&&

.AVIATION...
VFR WILL PREVAIL FOR THE TERMINALS THROUGH THE TAF PERIOD. WINDS
WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN AGAIN TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. STRONG
TRADES WILL PRODUCE ENE G35-50KT FOR THE WINDIEST VALLEYS/PASSES.
PHOG MAY SEE CHANCES OF LLVL WS ON APPROACH THRU THE CNTRL VALLEY.
AIRMET TANGO FOR TEMPO LLVL MOD TURB AOB 070 WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
FRIDAY. FRI. A WILD FIRE UPSLOPE FROM MAALAEA BAY COULD PRODUCE ISOL
MVFR VIS 5SM FM MAKENA TO MAALAEA...OFFSHORE TO MOLOKINI DUE TO FU.

&&

.MARINE...
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH OR EXCEED SMALL CRAFT CRITERIA THROUGH
THURSDAY. THE SCA HAS BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH 6 PM HST THU. WINDS IN
THE WINDIEST CHANNELS WILL LIKELY BE 30 MPH OR GREATER OCCASIONALLY
GUSTING TO GALE FORCE.

SURF ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES WILL BEGIN INCREASING GRADUALLY
THURSDAY AS FRESH SSW SWELL FILLS IN. SURF WILL REACH THE
WAIST/CHEST HIGH RANGE FRIDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH POSSIBLE
LARGER WAVES TO HEAD HIGH FOR SELECT AREAS. MOST OF THE RECENT
EXTRATROPICAL CYCLONE ACTIVITY OF INTEREST LOCALLY HAS BEEN AND WILL
BE IN THE VICINITY OF NEW ZEALAND AND THE TASMAN SEA FOR A FEW MORE
DAYS. THIS SUGGESTS SMALLER SHADOWED SW SWELL BEGINNING TOWARDS THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK LASTING FOR WEEK OR SO. NEXT WEEK MEAN TROUGHING
WILL SHIFT EAST OF NEW ZEALAND GIVING WAY TO BETTER SYSTEM
INTENSITY/TRAJECTORY FOR MODERATE SURF LOCALLY IN HAWAII SHOWING
AROUND THE 21ST-22ND...GIVE OR TAKE. BEYOND THAT...HIGH PRESSURE IN
THE SOUTHERN OCEAN WILL SQUASH ANY SWELL PRODUCING CYCLONE FORMATION
FAVORABLE FOR HAWAII FOR A FEW DAYS. THINGS SHOULD RECOVER WITH
SWELL TRAJECTORIES IMPROVING FROM THE SW INTO JULY AS THE
AFOREMENTIONED HIGH WEAKENS AND SHIFTS EAST.

NOTHING OF GREAT INTEREST OTHER THAN SHORT PERIOD NORTH SWELL NEXT
WEEK FOR NORTH FACING SHORES. CHOPPY TRADE SWELL WILL PERSIST ALONG
EAST FACING SHORES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.FIRE WEATHER...
STRONG TRADE WINDS AND PERSISTENT DRY CONDITIONS IS LIKELY AGAIN
THURSDAY. WINDS WILL RELAX SLIGHTLY AND HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL
RECOVER OVERNIGHT...BUT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO REACH RED FLAG
CRITERIA TOMORROW. THE RED FLAG WARNING CONTINUES THROUGH 600 PM
THURSDAY. WINDS WILL BE DECREASING ON FRIDAY BUT EXPECTING TO
STILL BE FLIRTING WITH RED FLAG CRITERIA...THOUGH NOT CONFIDENT
ENOUGH THIS WILL OCCUR TO ISSUE A WARNING FOR FRIDAY AT THIS TIME.
