Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
1000 AM HST Wed Dec 28 2016

.SYNOPSIS...
Winds are expected to pick up again late tonight and Thursday,
behind a weak front and with a strong high to the far north of the
islands. Look for winds to decrease again this weekend as that
high weakens and moves to the east. The trade wind flow will keep
clouds and showers focused over windward and mauka areas. An
uptick in showers is expected Thursday and into the weekend.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Winds have decreased from the last couple of days in part due to a
weak front to the north of the islands. Weakening high pressure to
the far northeast of the islands continues the trade wind flow.
Limited moisture being carried in on the trades and are impacting
mostly windward and mauka areas.

The front is expected to continue to weaken and reach the islands
tomorrow night as a shearline. This feature will increase the low
level moisture over the islands, so expect shower activity to
increase, particularly over the northern islands. Trade winds will
increase Thursday and Friday as the new stronger high pressure
system moves far north of the islands. This system will move to
the east and weaken over the weekend when we expect winds to once
again decrease.

Both the ECMWF and GFS keep a surface low pressure system to the
northeast of the islands during the start of the new week, which
will help to limit the trade winds. At the same time, the models
indicate a drier airmass over the islands which would limit shower
activity. By midweek, winds are forecast to be light, and could
become light enough to support localized land and sea breezes.

&&

.AVIATION...
AIRMET Tango remains posted over and immediately south and west
of mountain ranges below 7000 feet due to the strong trade winds.
These conditions are expected to continue through at least the
overnight hours.

AIRMET Sierra remains posted for mountain obscuration over the
windward Big Island slopes above 2000 feet due to low clouds and
passing showers. Some improvement is expected later this
afternoon. Conditions may deteriorate tonight as additional
moisture riding in on the trades interacts with terrain.

AIRMET Sierra also remains posted for mountain obscuration over
Kauai Oahu Molokai and Maui above 2000 feet due to low clouds and
passing showers. Conditions are expected to improve by this
afternoon.

Occasional MVFR conditions have been occurring over some windward
TAF sites such as Hilo and Lihue while most other sites have
prevailing VFR conditions. Expect these conditions to continue
this afternoon and tonight.

&&

.MARINE...
Fresh to locally strong trade winds will hold into early Thursday
as a 1031 mb surface high weakens about 1400 nm NE of the state,
and a Small Craft Advisory (SCA) remains in effect for the
typically windy waters around the Big Island and Maui. An
increase in northeasterly trade winds is expected Thursday and
Friday over portions of the state. A front or shear line will move
down the island chain during this time, while strong high pressure
rebuilds far to the northwest. The strongest northeasterly trade
winds will be confined to the north of the front and will
primarily affect the western half of the island chain, but the
SCA will likely be expanded to most waters due to a combination of
winds and seas. A marked decrease in trade winds and seas will
occur during the weekend and early next week, with the SCA coming
down.

Local PacIOOS buoys show that the easterly trade wind swell has
dropped to 6 to 9 ft at 9 to 10 seconds. As a result, the High
Surf Advisory (HSA) for east facing shores has been cancelled. The
HSA will likely be reissued on Thursday as the first in a series
of pulses of short-period north-northeast swells arrives. Expect
advisory level surf along some exposed east facing shores,
mainly on Thursday night and Friday when the roughest conditions
will prevail. These large and rough seas will coincide with the
strongest winds, contributing to the need for an SCA.

&&

.HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Thursday for Maalaea Bay-
Pailolo Channel-Alenuihaha Channel-Big Island Leeward Waters-Big
Island Southeast Waters.
