AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
859 PM HST TUE MAR 1 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTH OF THE STATE TONIGHT AND
WEDNESDAY...BRINGING A RETURN OF LIGHT TO MODERATE TRADE WINDS TO
THE ISLAND CHAIN. THE HIGH WILL THEN SLOWLY SETTLE SOUTHWARD JUST
TO THE NORTH OF THE ISLANDS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WEAKENING THE
WINDS ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR DAYTIME SEA BREEZES AND OVERNIGHT LAND
BREEZES IN MOST AREAS. ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO
THE NORTH OF THE STATE OVER THE WEEKEND...WITH THE NEXT COLD FRONT
EXPECTED TO PUSH THROUGH THE ISLANDS DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE
PART OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
CURRENTLY AT THE SURFACE...A WEAKENING COLD FRONT IS PUSHING
THROUGH THE BIG ISLAND. WELL UPSTREAM OF THE ISLAND CHAIN...A
1023 MB AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE IS CENTERED AROUND 1200 MILES OFF TO
THE WEST-NORTHWEST OF KAUAI. INFRARED SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS
PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES IN PLACE ACROSS THE STATE...WITH THE
MOST CLOUD COVER SITUATED OVER WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS.
MEANWHILE...RADAR IMAGERY SHOWS SOME VERY LIGHT SHOWERS ACROSS
WINDWARD AND MAUKA SECTIONS OF MOLOKAI...MAUI AND THE BIG ISLAND.
MAIN SHORT TERM CONCERNS FOR TONIGHT REVOLVE AROUND RAIN CHANCES
AND THE WIND ADVISORY HEADLINE FOR THE BIG ISLAND SUMMITS.

TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
THE WEAK COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY DISSIPATE JUST TO THE SOUTH OF
THE BIG ISLAND OVERNIGHT. MEANWHILE...THE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE
WEST-NORTHWEST OF THE STATE WILL BUILD SLOWLY EASTWARD THROUGH
THE PERIOD...WITH THE RIDGE AXIS REMAINING ROUGHLY 200 MILES NORTH
OF KAUAI. THIS WILL ALLOW LIGHT TO MODERATE NORTHEASTERLY TRADE
WINDS TO RETURN TO THE ISLANDS. 00Z PHTO AND PHLI RAOBS INDICATED
A VERY DRY AIRMASS IN PLACE ACROSS THE STATE...WITH BOTH
SHOWING PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AROUND 0.85 INCHES. MIMIC TOTAL
PRECIPITABLE WATER IMAGERY REVEALS THAT THE SOUNDINGS DID NOT
CAPTURE THE INCREASE IN MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DECAYING
FRONT CURRENTLY OVER THE BIG ISLAND...WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES ALONG THE FRONT BETWEEN 1.0 AND 1.2 INCHES. SOME ENHANCED
MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DECAYING FRONT WILL LINGER OVER THE
BIG ISLAND OVERNIGHT...AND WITH THE TRADES RETURNING...EXPECT
FAIRLY HIGH COVERAGE OF SHOWERS IN WINDWARD/MAUKA AREAS...ALTHOUGH
THEY WILL BE LIGHT. WILL KEEP SOME SLIGHT CHANCE POPS IN ACROSS
WINDWARD/MAUKA SECTIONS OF MOLOKAI AND MAUI AS WELL...ALTHOUGH IT
WILL BE DIFFICULT TO SQUEEZE MUCH MORE THAN SOME MIST OUT OF THIS
DRY AIRMASS.

WINDS ACROSS THE BIG ISLAND SUMMITS REMAIN WELL BELOW ADVISORY
LEVELS THIS EVENING. ALTHOUGH 600 MB WINDS ARE FORECAST TO
INCREASE TO AROUND 25 KNOTS LATER TONIGHT...THIS LIKELY WOULD ONLY
SUPPORT GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH...WHICH IS STILL BELOW ADVISORY
CRITERIA. AS A RESULT...WE WILL CANCEL THE WIND ADVISORY AND
MONITOR CONDITIONS THROUGH THE NIGHT IN CASE IT NEEDS TO BE RE-
ISSUED IF WINDS STRENGTHEN MORE THAN ANTICIPATED.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT THOUGH SUNDAY NIGHT...
HIGH PRESSURE NORTH OF THE STATE...WILL SLOWLY SETTLE SOUTHWARD
JUST TO THE NORTH OF THE ISLANDS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THIS WILL
WEAKEN THE WINDS ENOUGH TO ALLOW FOR DAYTIME SEA BREEZES AND
OVERNIGHT LAND BREEZES IN MOST AREAS. ANOTHER AREA OF HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BUILD TO THE NORTH OF THE STATE OVER THE
WEEKEND...INCREASING THE TRADE WIND FLOW OUT OF THE EAST AND
SOUTHEAST. HIGHEST RAIN CHANCES ON ANY PARTICULAR DAY WILL BE
HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON WIND DIRECTION AND TERRAIN FOCUS.
OVERALL...WE ARE NOT EXPECTING MUCH RAINFALL GIVEN THE DRY AIRMASS
IN PLACE.

MONDAY THROUGH NEXT WEDNESDAY...
THINGS GET A BIT MORE INTERESTING EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH THE 00Z GFS
AND 00Z ECMWF BOTH ADVERTISING A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH THE
ISLAND CHAIN DURING THE EARLY TO MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK. THERE
REMAINS SOME TIMING DIFFERENCES TO RESOLVE BETWEEN THE TWO
SOLUTIONS...BUT OVERALL...THEY ARE IN REMARKABLY GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE OVERALL SYNOPTIC WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE CENTRAL
PACIFIC. FOR NOW...WE WILL TAKE A BLENDED FORECAST APPROACH WHICH
BRINGS THE COLD FRONT AND A NOTABLE INCREASE IN SHOWER ACTIVITY
THROUGH THE AREA NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT IF
THE GFS AND ECMWF SOLUTIONS HOLD TRUE...WE MAY BE IN FOR A PERIOD
OF VERY WINDY TRADE WINDS AS A STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
TO THE NORTHWEST OF THE ISLANDS.

&&

.AVIATION...
SEVERAL NORTHEAST TO SOUTHWEST BANDS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE
STATE...BRINGING CLOUDS AND SOME SHOWERS WHICH ARE PRODUCING SOME
MVFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OUTSIDE
OF THESE PASSING CLOUDS AND SHOWERS.

A DRY AND STABLE AIRMASS MOVING OVER THE ISLANDS BEHIND THE FRONT
WILL MAINTAIN VFR CONDITIONS THROUGH TOMORROW. HIGH PRESSURE SETTING
UP TO THE NORTH OF THE ISLANDS WILL CONTINUE TO VEER THE WINDS
OVERNIGHT...WITH NORTHEAST WINDS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY.

NO AIRMETS CURRENTLY IN EFFECT OR ANTICIPATED.

&&

.MARINE...
A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS POSTED FOR ALL WATERS THAT ARE EXPOSED
TO LARGE NORTHWEST SWELLS. SEAS WILL GRADUALLY TREND DOWN
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY BUT STILL EXCEED THE 10 FOOT ADVISORY
THRESHOLD. SEAS WILL DIMINISH BELOW SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY LEVELS
THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. THE NEXT NORTHWEST SWELL
WILL WILL LIKELY CAUSE SEAS TO REACH ADVISORY LEVELS OVER EXPOSED
WATERS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.

THIS SWELL IS EXPECTED TO PEAK TONIGHT BEFORE LOWERING GRADUALLY
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. A SMALLER NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED TO
FILL IN OVER THE WEEKEND WITH ADVISORY LEVEL SURF EXPECTED.

IN ADDITION TO THE HAZARDOUS SEAS...IMPACTS WILL INCLUDE LIFE-
THREATENING SURF THROUGH TONIGHT BEFORE EASING LATER IN THE WEEK.
A COMBINATION OF THE SURF AND MODERATE ONSHORE WINDS IN THE WAKE
OF THE COLD FRONT COINCIDING WITH HIGH TIDE EARLY TONIGHT COULD
TRANSLATE TO OCEAN WATER SWEEPING OVER BEACHES AND OVERTOPPING
VULNERABLE COASTAL ROADWAYS. THIS LINES UP WELL WITH THE LATEST
PACIOOS WAVE RUN-UP FORECAST FOR THE NORTH SHORE OF OAHU.
