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 Jan 28, 9:00 PM HST, 6 hours 1 minute earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 28, 9:00 PM HST, 6 hours 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
900 PM HST Tue Jan 28 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
Cool and pleasant conditions will linger overnight before quickly
transitioning through the day Wednesday as winds shift out of the
south-southeast ahead of a strengthening low approaching from the
northwest. This strong winter low pressure system will pass just
north of Kauai on Thursday, with a cold front advancing down the
island chain Thursday through Friday. The threat of flash
flooding, damaging south to southwest winds, and strong to severe
thunderstorms will accompany the front. Conditions will quickly
improve behind the front Friday night into the weekend, continuing
through early next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Mostly dry and cool conditions will linger overnight and into
early Wednesday, with dewpoints hovering in the 50s. The best
chance for any light showers will be over the far eastern end of
the state, where a residual moisture axis associated with an old
front remains.

A quick transition period is anticipated through the day
Wednesday in response to strong low pressure approaching from the
northwest. The low-level flow will quickly respond and increase,
while veering out of the south to southeast through the day,
drawing warm and moist air northward. Dewpoints will surge into
the mid to upper 60s by the end of the day. Isentropic upglide
combined with the moistening boundary layer will support
increasing rain chances by the end of the day, mostly in the form
of isolated to scattered afternoon showers favoring south through
east facing slopes.

Guidance remains in good agreement and depicts an active weather
pattern unfolding late Wednesday night through early Friday, with
strong surface low pressure passing nearby to the north and its
attendant cold front advancing down the island chain. Kinematic
(0-6 km bulk shear values of 35-45 kt, with up to 40-50 knot winds
at 850 mb) and thermodynamic profiles (MUCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg)
continue to support a potential significant event evolving across
the state, with impacts ranging from damaging southwest winds
(downsloping into north thru windward sections), to strong to
severe thunderstorms, and flash flooding. Additionally, deep
convection will support the potential for periods of heavy snow
over the Big Island Summits late Thursday through Friday.

Conditions will quickly improve over the weekend as the upper
trough and surface low lift northeastward and away from the
region and high pressure builds in its wake.

&&

.AVIATION...
Moderate N-NE winds will weaken and veer to the E overnight, and
become SE Wednesday as low pressure develops NW of the islands.
Low cigs and SHRA will favor windward and mauka areas, with
periods of MVFR CIG/VIS in SHRA. As this next system impacts the
islands Wednesday night through Friday morning expect conds to
deteriorate with high winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms, and IFR
or worse conds.

AIRMET Sierra is in effect for mtn obsc for windward Big Island.
As this next system moves in expect this to be expanded to all
islands.

&&

.MARINE...
A strong low latitude low pressure system will approach the
Hawaii region from the West on Wednesday. Winds will veer
southeasterly as this low swiftly moves into the region. South to
southwest winds will quickly strengthen from Wednesday afternoon
into Thursday, with gale-force winds possible over Kauai coastal
waters and the Kauai Channel. We will look closely at these gale
threats tonight to consider expanding the Gale Watch eastward into
coastal waters near Oahu.

Wednesday night into Friday, a strong low pressure passing
through the region will increase the threats of strong
thunderstorms, gale-force winds, and periods of heavy rain across
the state. Wind threats will include strong to gale force
southwest wind speeds through Thursday with erratic and damaging
wind gusts possible near any thunderstorms. A cold front will also
move across the islands during this time period. Gentle to fresh
westerly to northwesterly winds will build in rapidly behind the
front along with improving marine weather trends. Marine Weather
Warnings are likely during this time due to the high potential for
strong thunderstorms. A Gale Watch remains in effect for the
waters around Kauai Wednesday night through Thursday. A Small
Craft Advisory will also be needed for all Hawaiian coastal waters
during this time period.

A new north-northwest swell will continue to fill in tonight and
should peak late tonight into Wednesday morning below advisory
thresholds. A larger north swell should fill in later Thursday
into Friday, which could reach advisory levels for north facing
shores. Several reinforcing pulses are expected Friday into early
next week as the swell veers more northeasterly and could produce
advisory level surf along east facing shores due to the shift in
swell direction this weekend. A moderate west-northwest swell will
eventually move in with the overlapping north to northeast swells
building in on Monday and then peaking by Tuesday.

Surf along south-facing shores will remain small into Wednesday.
Rough and choppy surf will develop along south and west facing
shores from Wednesday night through Friday due to the strong south
to southwesterly kona winds developing from the passing strong low
pressure system.
