Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
903 AM HST Mon Feb 9 2026

.SYNOPSIS...
Wet and windy weather will continue across the islands today, with
conditions gradually improving this afternoon into tonight as
winds ease and rainfall coverage and intensity diminishes. A more
typical trade wind pattern will then follow Tuesday through late
this week, although it will remain rather breezy.

&&

.SHORT TERM UPDATE...
Issued at 851 AM HST Mon Feb 9 2026

Ongoing event nearing an end as the gradient begins to slowly
weaken today and it becomes increasingly evident that surface
convergence will be insufficient to organize meaningful banding of
showers. Though organization has been poor, rain rates have been
highly efficient at times. MRMS Multi Senor Pass yields estimated
rainfall totals so far around 3-6" over Windward Oahu, up to 15"
on the northern slopes of Molokai, just shy of 10" over Windward
Maui, and around a foot along the North Kohala and Hamakua coasts
of the Big Island. Kauai comes in last with a pocket estimated
around 5" atop Mount Waialeale. Light to moderate stratiform rain
will blanket the eastern 2/3 of the state today while weakly
convergent trade wind showers become focused increasingly
westward, eventually bringing an enhancement to shower activity
over Oahu by mid to late afternoon. This weak convergence exists
along the lead edge of mid-level dry punching into the region from
the east. This dry air will scour out mid-level moisture and
bring increasing stability tonight into Tuesday. Right entrance
jet support rapidly wanes during this time as the parent low to
the west of the islands slides to the southwest and brings an
effective end to the event. The Flood Watch remains in effect
until 6pm with no expectation to extend it into tonight.

The gradient over the area has peaked as 1014mb low pressure SW of
the islands drifts westward and progressive mid-latitude ridging
ushers 1039mb high pressure eastward. Current observations indicate
the downslope machine is still going this morning with gusts to
50mph over southern Molokai and 59mph at the Olowalu anemometer on
Maui. Gusts are similarly in the 45-55mph in the Kohala District of
the Big Island. Daytime heating will allow gusts to creep upwards in
magnitude today, but the 70+mph readings of yesterday become
decreasingly likely with each passing hour. Subtle increase in
stability as early as this evening may keep gusts elevated into the
evening. The High Wind Warning remains in effect until 6pm and will
likely be transitioned to a Wind Advisory this evening if not sooner.

The Winter Storm Warning for the Big Island summits is also likely
to expire on schedule this evening as developing subsidence beneath
height rises aloft, impinging mid-level dry air, and gradual loss of
deep moisture will spell an end to meaningful snowfall, though a few
flakes may continue to fall through the first half of the night.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
Currently at the surface, a trough of low pressure is located a
few hundred miles southwest of the state, while a 1036 mb high is
centered well to the north of the islands. The gradient remains
strong locally, with breezy to windy conditions affecting much of
the state. The strongest winds continue to be over and downwind
of the higher terrain, through valleys, and in other local
acceleration areas, where frequent wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph
have been occurring overnight. Infrared satellite imagery shows
overcast conditions across the islands. Radar imagery shows
widespread rain from Oahu eastward, with lesser shower coverage
over Kauai. The heaviest rainfall continues to focus over the
windward portions of the islands. The main short term focus
continues to revolve around the heavy rain and damaging wind
potential today.

The overall forecast appears on track, with deep moisture
remaining over the islands in association with the old dissipated
front. This in combination with divergence aloft and strong winds
aiding orographic lift, will continue to support areas of heavy
rain primarily over windward slopes and coasts, along with a
slight chance for a rumble or two of thunder. The Flood Watch
remains in effect through 6 PM this evening.

The wind forecast is a bit more uncertain, as there has been a
decrease in the gustiness overnight. We still expect a windy day
across the islands however, as the gradient remains tight between
a 1039 mb high well north of the state and a weak developing low
several hundred miles southwest of the islands. As a result, the
High Wind Warning remains in effect through 6 PM this evening as
well.

Finally, the Winter Storm Warning for the Big Island summits
remains in effect through 6 PM this evening for elevations above
12000 feet.

Conditions are expected to begin improving by late this afternoon,
with winds easing up some, and rainfall diminishing in coverage
and intensity as well. It will remain breezy enough tonight
however, that a Wind Advisory may be needed for some of the
typically windier areas once the High Wind Warning is cancelled.

More typical, but breezy, trade wind weather will follow Tuesday
through Friday, with showers favoring windward and mauka areas.
The latest 06Z GFS and 00Z ECMWF show the potential for another
round of heavy rainfall next weekend. Since this has been a recent
development in model trends showing a return of unsettled weather,
will wait for some more run to run continuity before trending the
forecast away from a trade wind pattern.

&&

.AVIATION...
A broad, nearly stationary surface high prevails north of the
Hawaiian Islands while an elongated upper-level trough meanders
easterly will aid in generating strong to near gale force trades
across the islands today. Additionally, scattered rain and
lowered ceilings across the state will lead to MVFR and localized
IFR conditions at times. Otherwise, gusty trades will be the
primary impact throughout the period.

AIRMET Sierra is in effect for mtn obsc for all islands.

AIRMET Tango is in effect for mod to isol turb across all islands
and adjacent waters due to the weather system over the state up
to FL380. Sustained winds in excess of 30 kt is also expected
into Monday.

Light icing is expected in cloud layer 120-FL250 across the
state.

&&

.MARINE...
A low pressure system southwest of the Hawaiian Islands slowly
drifts westward as a strong high north of the state slowly drifts
eastward. Wind speeds will weaken slightly through the day as both
large scale pressure systems begin to move away from the island
chain. Strong to gale force winds remain in the forecast today for
both coastal and offshore waters, and a Gale Warning remains in
effect through the afternoon hours for all Hawaiian waters. Fresh
to locally strong easterly trade winds will linger in the forecast
for all coastal waters with slight downward trends each day to
Small Craft Advisory levels from Tuesday into Thursday.

These strong to gale force trade winds today will bring large and
very rough surf along east facing shores lasting through tonight.
A High Surf Warning remains in effect for exposed east facing
shores through tonight. Surf heights along east facing shores will
decline to advisory levels by Tuesday morning, then decline below
advisory thresholds, yet remain rough from Tuesday night onward
as trade winds ease across the region.

Small to moderate northwest swells will pass through the islands
into the first half of next week. These smaller swells will keep
surf heights on the smaller side. Looking into the extended
forecast from the middle to the end of next week, we see a similar
swell picture with no larger northwesterly swells for the
foreseeable future.

Surf along south facing shores will remain small with some small
background south swell energy expected over the next few days.
Select southern exposures exposed to the wind swell will likely
see some larger waves as well.
