AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
920 AM HST SAT JAN 21 2012

.SYNOPSIS...
MODERATE TRADE WINDS WITH DRY CONDITIONS WILL DOMINATE THROUGH
SUNDAY. A COLD FRONT WILL APPROACH KAUAI FROM THE NORTHWEST SUNDAY
NIGHT...SHIFTING WINDS SOUTHEAST. MUGGY AND HAZY CONDITIONS WILL
PREVAIL MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. THE CHANCE OF RAIN MAY INCREASE THURSDAY
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
LIGHT TO MODERATE TRADES WILL PREVAIL WITH PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TODAY.
WATER VAPOR IMAGERY DEPICTS AN INTENSIFYING SHORT WAVE APPROACHING
THE DATELINE. AS THE SHORT WAVE AMPLIFIES IT WILL PUSH A SURFACE
FRONT INTO THE NORTHWESTERN OFFSHORE WATERS. PRESSURE/HEIGHT FALLS
TO THE NORTHWEST WILL INDUCE SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW TOMORROW.

THE POLAR JET WILL SHIFT EQUATORWARD WEST OF THE STATE. THIS WILL
SUSTAIN LOWER PRESSURES AND A SURFACE BOUNDARY NORTHWEST OF THE
STATE WILL KEEP THE LOCAL SURFACE DISPLACED TO THE SOUTH. THE RESULT
WILL BE MUGGY SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WITH PERIODS OF LAND/SEA BREEZES
THROUGH MOST OF THE COMING WORK WEEK. STABLE CONDITIONS ALOFT WILL
LIMIT RAINFALL CHANCES REGARDLESS OF AN INFLUX OF TROPICAL MOISTURE.
RAINFALL WILL FAVOR THE SOUTHEAST FACING SLOPES OF THE BIG ISLAND
INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK.

SOUTHEASTERLY FLOW WILL PERSIST INTO NEXT WEEKEND. ADDITIONAL
SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS ALONG THE AFOREMENTIONED MOISTURE AXIS TO THE
WEST MAY NUDGE THE BOUNDARY CLOSER TO THE STATE. THIS WOULD INCREASE
CHANCES OF RAIN OVER THE WESTERN ISLANDS THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND.

&&

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION.../ISSUED 356 AM HST SATURDAY MORNING/
RADAR HAS PICKED UP SOME LIGHT SHOWERS MOVING INTO WINDWARD AREAS
OF MAUI...MOLOKAI AND OAHU OVERNIGHT...BUT ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE MINIMAL. A SURFACE RIDGE HAS RETREATED TO THE NORTH...AND
MODERATE TRADE WINDS HAVE RETURNED WITH AN UPTICK IN WIND SPEED
EXPECTED TONIGHT. WINDWARD AND MAUKA SHOWERS WILL REMAIN LIMITED
TODAY...BEFORE GRADUALLY INCREASING TONIGHT AS THE TRADE WINDS
PULL IN MOISTURE FROM THE EAST. HOWEVER...THESE SHOWERS WILL
REMAIN LIMITED THROUGH MONDAY AS A STABLE ATMOSPHERE ALOFT KEEPS A
LID ON CLOUD GROWTH. LEEWARD AREAS OF THE SMALLER ISLANDS WILL
HAVE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES DURING THIS PERIOD WITH LITTLE SHOWER
ACTIVITY. THE LEEWARD LOWER SLOPES OF THE BIG ISLAND WITH SEE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING CLOUDS WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AT NIGHT AND
IN THE MORNING.

THE NEXT CHANGE IN OUR WEATHER PATTERN COMES SUNDAY EVENING AS A
COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE NORTHWEST. THE FRONT WILL PUSH THE
SURFACE RIDGE TOWARD THE ISLANDS SUNDAY EVENING WHICH WILL TURN
OUR WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. BY MONDAY...THE RIDGE LOOKS TO BE
NEAR KAUAI...AND WINDS OVER THE SMALLER ISLANDS WILL BE
PREDOMINANTLY LIGHT WITH AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES AND NIGHTTIME LAND
BREEZES EXPECTED OVER THE ISLANDS. NEAR THE BIG ISLAND...THE
SOUTHEAST FLOW WILL CONTINUE MONDAY AND TUESDAY...POSSIBLY
ALLOWING VOLCANIC HAZE TO MOVE OVER THE SMALLER ISLANDS...AS WELL
AS INTO THE HILO DISTRICT. RAIN AMOUNTS ACROSS THE STATE SUNDAY
AND MONDAY WILL REMAIN LIMITED AS THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE REMAINS
STABLE.

BY TUESDAY...MOISTURE MOVING UP IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST IS EXPECTED
TO REACH THE BIG ISLAND AND BOTH SOUTHEAST AND NORTHEAST AREAS OF
THE ORCHID ISLE WILL SEE AN INCREASE IN SHOWERS. THIS INCREASED
MOISTURE IS FORECAST TO REACH THE SMALLER ISLANDS WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY...INCREASING SHOWERS FROM MAUI TO KAUAI.

THE COLD FRONT REMAINS NORTHWEST OF KAUAI INTO THURSDAY CONTINUING
THE LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS OVER THE SMALLER ISLANDS...AND
SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR THE BIG ISLAND. MODELS ARE HAVING A DIFFICULT
TIME WITH THE LONG-TERM FORECAST...BUT IT LOOKS LIKE TRADE WINDS
WILL RETURN AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND.

&&

.AVIATION...
AN AIRMET REMAINS UP FOR LOW LEVEL TURBULENCE IMMEDIATELY SOUTH AND
WEST OF MOUNTAINS ON ALL ISLANDS DUE TO STRENGTHENING TRADE WINDS.
VFR CONDITIONS PREVAIL AT ALL TAF SITES WITH THESE CONDITIONS
CONTINUING FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS. SOME ISOLATED LIGHT
SHOWERS ARE SEEN OR RADAR MAINLY AFFECTING WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS.

&&

.MARINE...
ONLY SMALL BURSTS OF NORTH PACIFIC SWELL ARE EXPECTED INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. A BRIEF PERIOD OF SCA CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR AROUND
MAUI/HAWAII COUNTIES TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. AFTERWARDS WINDS/SEAS
WILL REMAIN BELOW SCA CRITERIA THIS WEEK IN LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY
FLOW.

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