AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
1000 AM HST SUN DEC 16 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
UNSEASONABLY STRONG AND GUSTY TRADE WINDS WILL INCREASE ON MONDAY AS
HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS NORTH OF THE ISLANDS. SHOWERS WILL BE FOCUSED
OVER WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS BUT WILL BE PERIODICALLY CARRIED OVER
TO LEEWARD SECTIONS OF THE SMALLER ISLANDS ON THE TRADES. TRADE
WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO DECREASE SOMEWHAT DURING THE SECOND HALF OF
THE WORK WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
THE RATHER STRONG AND GUSTY TRADE FLOW IN PLACE TODAY WILL INCREASE
ON MONDAY. A 1029 MB HIGH SITTING 800 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE STATE
HAS BEEN MAINTAINING A PRESSURE GRADIENT AROUND 4 MB BETWEEN BUOYS
51101 AND 51003 FOR THE PAST 24 HOURS. THIS IS FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE FOR
DECEMBER...BUT AS HIGH PRESSURE CONSOLIDATES AND BUILDS NORTH OF THE
STATE ON MONDAY...EXPECT THE GRADIENT TO TIGHTEN 1 OR 2 MB AND THE
RESULTING TRADE WINDS TO INCREASE A NOTCH. RIGHT NOW...A WIND
ADVISORY IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE FOR HALEAKALA SUMMIT...AND WE WILL
LIKELY BE EXPANDING THE ADVISORY TO COVER PORTIONS OF THE BIG ISLAND
AND MAUI COUNTY BY MONDAY MORNING. THE STRONG TRADES WILL HOLD INTO
TUESDAY.

THE ISLANDS LIE BETWEEN A WEAK BAND OF SHOWERS THAT PASSED THROUGH
LAST NIGHT AND ANOTHER A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES TO THE NORTHEAST.
EXPECT SHOWERS TO REMAIN LARGELY CONFINED TO WINDWARD SLOPES TODAY
WITH RELATIVELY DRY CONDITIONS LEEWARD. THE BAND WILL MOVE IN
TONIGHT...BRINGING AMPLE SHOWERS TO WINDWARD AREAS...WHILE LEEWARD
AREAS OF THE SMALLER ISLANDS EXPERIENCE PASSING SHOWERS. THERE ARE
PLENTIFUL SHOWER- BEARING CUMULUS CLOUDS IN THE UPWIND TRADE WIND
FLOW...AND FORECAST MODELS SUGGEST AN ACTIVE SHOWER PATTERN THROUGH
WEDNESDAY.

TRADE WINDS WILL DECREASE DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE WORK WEEK.
THE DETAILS STILL ARE NOT CLEAR DUE TO DISAGREEMENTS IN THE
MODELS...BUT WINDS WILL AT LEAST BE DOWN A NOTCH. A TYPICAL TRADE
WIND SHOWER PATTERN IS IN STORE.

&&

.AVIATION...
STRENGTHENING HIGH PRESSURE N OF THE AREA WILL DRIVE STRONG TRADE
WINDS ACROSS THE AREA...WITH WINDS INCREASING ON MONDAY.
THEREFORE...AIRMET TANGO IS POSTED FOR BOTH MODERATE LOW LEVEL
TURBULENCE FROM S THRU W OF ISLAND TERRAIN...AND FOR LOCALIZED
STRONG SUSTAINED SURFACE WINDS. NEITHER OF THESE AIRMETS WILL BE
LIFTED IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

AT THE TERMINALS...VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL. THE STRONG TRADES
WILL DELIVER BRIEF ISOL MVFR CIG/VIS IN SHRA TODAY...BUT A LOOSELY
ORGANIZED BAND OF SHOWERY LOW CLOUDS ABOUT 250 MILES E OF MOST
ISLANDS IS MOVING W AT 25 TO 30 MPH. THE ARRIVAL OF THE BAND BY THIS
EVENING WILL LIKELY RESULT IN TEMPO MVFR CIG/VIS AND ISOL IFR
CIG/VIS IN SHRA OVER WINDWARD SLOPES...AND POSSIBLY AT PHLI/PHTO.

&&

.MARINE...
TRADE WIND SPEEDS AND SEAS WILL REMAIN NEAR OR ABOVE THE SMALL CRAFT
ADVISORY /SCA/ CRITERIA ACROSS ALL WATERS AT LEAST THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. INCREASING TRADES MAY PRODUCE GALE CONDITIONS IN
SOME OF THE WINDIER AREAS...SUCH AS THE ALENUIHAHA AND PAILOLO
CHANNELS...MAALAEA BAY AND NEAR SOUTH POINT...STARTING MONDAY. GALE
WARNINGS MAY BE POSTED LATER TODAY.

THE STRONG TRADES WILL ALSO MAINTAIN ELEVATED ROUGH SURF ALONG
WINDWARD FACING REEFS/BEACHES INTO THE NEW WEEK...WITH BUILDING SURF
EXPECTED DUE TO THE INCREASING TRADES STARTING MONDAY. AS A
RESULT...THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR EAST FACING SHORES REMAINS IN
EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. WITH THE TRADES REMAINING ROBUST
DURING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AN EXTENSION OF THIS ADVISORY IS
POSSIBLE.

&&

.HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
WIND ADVISORY UNTIL 600 PM HST THIS EVENING FOR HALEAKALA SUMMIT.

SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY UNTIL 600 PM HST TUESDAY FOR ALL HAWAIIAN
WATERS.

HIGH SURF ADVISORY UNTIL 600 PM HST TUESDAY FOR EAST FACING SHORES
OF KAUAI OAHU MOLOKAI MAUI AND THE BIG ISLAND.
