What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this high wind warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Honolulu, HI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this high wind warning went out at Feb 8, 4:27 AM HST, 2 hours 46 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Feb 8, 4:27 AM HST, 2 hours 46 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 427 AM HST Fri Feb 8 2019 .SYNOPSIS... Windy conditions will develop today, with very windy and unsettled weather expected at times over the weekend as an area of low pressure strengthens and moves southward toward the islands. Unsettled weather may persist into the middle of next week as the low lingers in the island vicinity. && .DISCUSSION... Currently at the surface, a 1006 mb low is located around 475 miles northeast of Honolulu, with a cold front extending south- southwestward through the Big Island. Meanwhile, a strong 1037 mb high is centered around 1350 miles northwest of Kauai. Behind the front moderate to locally breezy north to northwest winds have filled in, with moderate westerlies in advance of the front. Infrared satellite imagery shows partly cloudy skies in most areas, with some pockets of enhanced cloud coverage over windward locales. Radar imagery shows scattered showers moving into windward areas of the smaller islands, with a few showers spilling into leeward communities. Across the Big Island, most of the shower activity has now exited to the east of the islands. Main short term concerns of many, revolve around the dangerously large surf and potentially damaging winds expected over the weekend. Today, The area of low pressure northeast of the state will track steadily eastward today, dragging a cold front southeastward and away from the Big Island. Meanwhile, the high northwest of the islands will continue strengthen to around 1039 mb by this afternoon. The gradient across the state will tighten as a result of these two features, with windy northerlies developing across most of the state by late this afternoon. Based on the latest model guidance and upstream buoy observations, we have issued a Wind Advisory beginning at 2 PM this afternoon for all of the smaller islands. As for sensible weather details, scattered showers will continue across across north facing slopes and coasts in the northerly flow regime, with mostly rain free conditions aside from a spill over light shower or some sprinkles in leeward areas. For the Big Island summits, strong winds are expected to continue today, although there may be a bit of a decrease in speeds later this morning through the afternoon hours if model solutions are correct. The Wind Advisory has been extended through 6 PM this evening. Tonight through Sunday night, Model solutions remain in good agreement, showing a new area of low pressure developing well north-northeast of the state tonight, then deepening as it moves rapidly southward toward the islands Saturday and Saturday night. The low is then forecast to slow down and stall out a couple hundred miles north of the state Sunday and Sunday night. A surge of strong northerly winds is expected tonight into early Saturday, and the current Wind Advisory may need to be expanded to include the Big Island later today. The winds are expected to trend briefly below advisory levels on Saturday, but the winds should ramp back up out of the northwest Saturday evening, then becoming very windy out of the west-northwest after midnight Saturday through at least Sunday evening. How strong the winds get will depend on the exact strength and track of the low in proximity to the islands, but High Wind Warnings based on the latest guidances appear likely for at least portions if not the entire island chain late Saturday night and Sunday. Given the unusual northwest thru west wind direction during the expected peak of the wind event, downed trees and power outages will be a distinct possibility statewide, with the areas where the winds get funneled most effectively in these wind directions being the most susceptible. As for sensible weather details, periods of showery weather will impact the islands with the showers favoring north and northwest facing slopes and coasts. Given the strength of the winds and elevated inversion heights, some of the showers will spread over the terrain into the typically drier leeward areas as well. The airmass will be plenty unstable given the cold temperatures aloft, but the moisture depth is forecast to remain below 20 kft, so at this time the probability of thunder although non-zero, appears low. That said, with the strong winds aloft in place, as bands of showers move through the islands squally weather can be expected, and damaging winds within these squalls can't be ruled out. For the Big Island summits, winds will increase tonight with High Wind Warning level winds likely Saturday through the remainder of the weekend. In addition, some wintry weather could occur mainly Sunday and/or Sunday night as some deeper moisture rotates through the area. In fact, temperatures will likely be cool enough that some wintry weather could even occur at the highest elevations of Haleakala as well. Overall, this low is shaping up to be a high-impact event, bringing multiple weather hazards, and significant threats to life and property. As such, we have attempted to highlight the most significant weather impacts in an ongoing Special Weather Statement (SPSHFO) - until such time that Watches and Warnings cover all of the expected impacts. Monday through next Thursday, Uncertainty in the forecast increases following the weekend storm, with the GFS and ECMWF continuing to display some differences in the synoptic pattern evolution. Despite the differences in the movement and track of the low to the north of the islands, they both indicate that unsettled weather will hold in place through much of the upcoming week. As a result, will keep showers in the forecast even for the typically drier areas through the period. Trade winds don't appear like they'll return anytime soon, with the models showing a general west-northwest wind direction at moderate to locally strong speeds continuing through much of the new week. && .AVIATION... A low pressure system north of the islands will produce scattered showers across the region. A high pressure ridge will build in over the islands today with increasing north to northeasterly winds for all TAF sites. VFR conditions will prevail over the next 24 hours. No AIRMETs are in effect. AIRMET Tango will likely be issued later today as low level winds increase, producing moderate mechanical turbulence over and south through west of mountain ranges across the state. && .MARINE... A deepening low pressure system is forecast to develop far north of the region starting tonight, and then move rapidly south toward the state this weekend. This feature is expected to bring unprecedented impacts, with very hazardous, and potentially life- threatening, conditions spreading across most Hawaiian Waters from this weekend into early next week. If experienced mariners are considering venturing away from protected waters this weekend, please prepare not only for very strong sustained winds and treacherous seas, but for the likelihood of extreme squally weather conditions. If in doubt, DO NOT GO OUT! Currently, increasing northwest to north winds are spreading down the island chain from west to east. Near gale force winds may eventually develop over the extreme western coastal waters, and a Gale Watch remains in effect for the waters adjacent to Kauai County starting this evening. Note that across the northern Hawaiian Offshore Waters beyond 40 nm from the Hawaiian Islands, winds will likely reach gale force starting Saturday, and then possibly increase to storm force (at least 50 knots!) by Saturday night. A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) has been issued for most Hawaiian Waters for a combination of increasing seas and strengthening winds. Expect the deteriorating conditions to eventually require either a SCA or a Gale Warning for all coastal waters from this weekend into early next week. A new large northwest swell continues to build according to observations at buoys 51101 and 51001 early this morning. This swell will cause surf to build today along most north and west facing shores of the smaller islands. Therefore, a High Surf Warning has been issued for increasing surf along north and west facing shores of Kauai, Niihau, Oahu and Molokai, and for north facing shores of Maui. Increasing surf may also require a HSA for west facing shores of the Big Island starting tonight or Saturday. In addition, surf may eventually reach the HSA criteria along north facing shores of the Big Island by late Saturday or Sunday. By late Saturday and Sunday, the model guidance continues to insist that the increasing winds and captured fetch associated with a storm-force low pressure system will cause extremely large and disorganized waves to spread across the coastal waters. The combined seas will become extremely high due to a combination of the longer period swell, and the huge wind waves generated by near gale to gale-force winds over the coastal waters. There is also a strong potential for extreme harbor surges in north and west facing harbors, as well as significant coastal inundation and beach erosion along north and west facing shores of most islands this weekend. This event may bring unprecedented coastal flooding to north and west facing shores, so anyone with vulnerable ocean front property needs to complete their preparations for this event as soon as possible. && .HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

An unusually strong storm system will move toward the islands from the north over the weekend, bringing with it multiple weather hazards. The storm will send a powerful swell toward the islands that will impact exposed north and west facing shores with very high surf. Additionally, the combination of strong onshore winds and high surf will increase the potential for significant coastal flooding that could lead to property damage, road closures and beach erosion. The storm system will also bring strong and potentially damaging north to northwest winds to the island chain, particularly Saturday night through Sunday evening. While these winds are expected to be strongest over ridges and mountaintops, they will also accelerate downslope, impacting heavily populated areas. In addition, intense fast moving rain showers or squalls may bring very strong and damaging winds as the storm makes its closest approach. If you have outdoor plans for the weekend, be prepared for very windy conditions. If your plans include marine activities, you may want to consider postponing them.
