Area forecast discussion, Feb 8, 8:35 PM HST, 6 hours 50 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 835 PM HST Sat Feb 8 2020 .SYNOPSIS... Cool and dry weather is forecast to spread eastward tonight as an upper trough across the islands moves east. A strong and cold low will move in from the north on Sunday night, bringing strong northwesterly winds, colder temperatures, and additional bands of showers through Tuesday. East to southeast winds will return by Wednesday, with scattered showers expected. && .DISCUSSION... Have re-issued the Special Weather Statement to highlight the strong winds and coastal flooding possibilities for Sunday night into Monday. See the latest SPSHFO product for those details. The main weather concern for the next 48 hours is the wind. A surface low was analyzed about 650 miles north of Honolulu this afternoon. This was the system that brought the cold front through the islands a few days ago, and ushered in the cool northerly winds. The models are in good agreement with a complex low developing with the low to the north moving to the northeast and a new surface low forming on the west side and digging south towards the islands. It is this second feature, coupled with a strong upper level low that will continue to bring in northerly winds, and will increase winds for the islands as soon as Sunday afternoon. That being said, there are some significant differences in where the global models place the low Sunday night and Monday, which will play a big part in how strong the winds will get and what exact areas will see the strongest winds. The highest likelihood for the strongest winds (aside from the Big Island Summits) will be over the western end of the island chain. Kauai and Oahu could see the winds pick up sooner than Maui County and the Big Island, with the earliest onset for Kauai being late Sunday afternoon. Have begun to make some tweaks to the forecast grids to better reflect the likelihood of advisory level winds making it into the islands. Still making final decisions, but a Wind Advisory for some lower elevations could be issued in the morning. The High Wind Warning (HWW) for the Big Island Summits continues, with observations from Mauna Kea continuing to support the warning. The models are in good agreement with some weakening of the winds at the summits through tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, with winds possibly dropping below warning levels, but then ramping back up Sunday night. The current HWW goes through 11 AM Sunday but will be extended, and strong winds there could continue into Tuesday. There are differences in the ECMWF and the GFS for the winds, so still exploring how long to extend the HWW for. The placement of the low will also factor into the amount of showers that move over the islands during the Sunday night and Monday time period. Previous run of the ECMWF is wetter than the GFS, but both move things through the islands relatively quickly, so at this time not anticipating any flooding concerns. By Tuesday afternoon, the GFS and ECMWF both had the surface low over the islands, and moving to the southwest away from the island during the second half of the week. As the low moves over the islands, winds will weaken, and then as the system moves to the southeast, light to moderate southeast to east winds will move into the islands. && .AVIATION... Wind speeds at the surface and lower layers have decreased significantly since earlier in the afternoon so AIRMET Tango has been canceled for now. We expect the winds to increase again later in the day Sunday into Sunday night. Anticipate AIRMET Tango for low-level turbulence to be back in place during that time. With these winds expected to be out of the west-northwest, this turbulence should be possible in east through southeast areas downwind of mountains. Expect mostly VFR conditions across the state tonight into Sunday with only brief, passing MVFR conditions possible with a few isolated showers across northwest through northeast mauka sections, especially for Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island. The next chance for MVFR conditions may occur Sunday night into Monday associated with an upper-level trough. There are no AIRMETs currently in effect and none are anticipated until Sunday afternoon into Monday. && .MARINE... Moderate to fresh northerly winds will continue tonight and Sunday morning, then shift out of the west-northwest and increase to strong and near gale-force speeds late Sunday through Monday as a surface low drops southeastward to the north of the islands. The surface low is then forecast to drop southwestward Monday night through Tuesday night, passing through the eastern or central portion of the state. This should keep fresh to strong northerly winds in place across the western islands. Meanwhile across the eastern half of the state, moderate to fresh northwesterly winds Monday night will diminish and become light and variable by Tuesday night. The surface low is forecast to open up into a surface trough and shift southwest and away from the islands Wednesday into next weekend, while high pressure builds far northeast of the islands. This should bring a gradual return of trade winds to the marine area beginning Wednesday and continuing into next weekend. Surf along north facing shores will remain rough through early next week due to the northerly winds and large seas. A combination of large, short-period seas out of the north and moderate to large, long-period northwest swells moving through this weekend and again Monday through Tuesday will keep north shore surf at or above advisory levels much of the time. The current High Surf Advisory remains in effect through 6 AM Sunday. Surf is trending down, so this is expected to be cancelled with the early morning forecast package. Surf will be back on the rise Sunday night, with warning level surf expected Monday through Tuesday. Surf will trend down Tuesday night, but may remain at advisory levels for north and west facing shores. Small to moderate north and northwest swells will then continue Wednesday into next weekend, with surf remaining well below advisory levels. Peak monthly tides combined with water levels running higher than predicted, potentially gale-force west-northwest winds, and warning level surf, will likely lead to coastal impacts for exposed shores Sunday night through Monday. This could include significant beach erosion, overwash onto vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, and surges within Haleiwa harbor. The peak high tide will occur between midnight and daybreak Monday morning. Surf along exposed east facing shores will remain well below normal tonight through Wednesday. East shore surf will get a notable boost Wednesday night into next weekend, as trade winds return over and upstream of the islands. Surf along south facing shores will remain small with mainly background long-period south and southwest swells moving through. A moderate size south swell will be possible next weekend. && .HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
