NWS Honolulu, HI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jul 20, 10:15 AM HST, 4 hours 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...RETRANSMITTED NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI 1015 AM HST THU JUL 20 2006 .SYNOPSIS... LIGHT TRADES WILL MAINTAIN WINDWARD AND MAUKA CLOUDS AND SHOWERS TODAY. THE TRADES WILL BE LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW WIDESPREAD SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT ACROSS MOST LEEWARD SHORES THIS AFTERNOON. THE SAME COMBINATION OF LIGHT TRADES AND WIDESPREAD SEA BREEZES WILL REPEAT TOMORROW. INCREASING HIGH PRESSURE NORTHEAST OF THE STATE WILL BRING MORE MODERATE TRADES BACK POSSIBLY SATURDAY...AND SURELY BY SUNDAY. && .DISCUSSION... A WEAK SHOWER BAND EMBEDDED IN THE TRADES REACHED THE ISLANDS OVERNIGHT...PRODUCING FAIRLY WIDESPREAD THOUGH SKIMPY TOTALS OVER MOST WINDWARD AND MAUKA AREAS. THREE GAGES ON THE BIG ISLAND THAT TYPICALLY SEE THE MOST RAINFALL...PAHOA...MOUNTAIN VIEW AND GLENWOOD...RECORDED 0.28 0.13 0.17 INCHES RESPECTIVELY OVER THE 12 HOUR PERIOD ENDING AT 8 AM. THE REMAINING GAGES ACROSS THE STATE WERE BELOW A TENTH. SATELLITE IMAGERY THROUGH THE MID MORNING SHOWS THE SHOWER BAND IS LESS DEFINED VERSUS LATE YESTERDAY. THE 2 AM HILO SOUNDING INDICATED A MIXED LAYER DEPTH CLOSE TO 10 THOUSAND FEET COINCIDING WITH THE SHOWER BAND PASSAGE...AND IS LIKELY UNREPRESENTATIVE OF THE CURENT CONDITIONS THERE. AT PRESENT...THE 125 MILE WIDE BAND IS ROUGHLY ORIENTED NORTH TO SOUTH AND CENTERED OVER OAHU. SATELLITE SHOWS A FIELD OF MUCH MORE STABLE CLOUDS ON THE HEELS OF THE SHOWER BAND...SO EXPECT WINDWARD AND MAUKA CONDITIONS TO GRADUALLY GET BETTER FROM THE BIG ISLAND THIS MORNING...TO MAUI COUNTY THIS AFTERNOON AND KAUAI OVERNIGHT. WITH MORE STABLE CONDITIONS MOVING IN OVERNIGHT...EXPECT FEWER CLOUDS AND SHOWERS OVER WINDWARD AND MAUKA SECTIONS AT SUNRISE TOMORROW. THE TRADES ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN SOME WINDWARD AND MAUKA CLOUDINESS TODAY AND TOMORROW...BUT LIGHT ENOUGH TO ALLOW WIDESPREAD SEA BREEZE DEVELOPMENT EACH AFTERNOON. NORTH-SOUTH PRESSURE GRADIENTS BETWEEN BUOYS 1 AND 2...1 AND 3...1 AND 4...HAVE ALL WEAKENED OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...AND ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN IN THE 1.5 TO 3.0 MB RANGE THROUGH TOMORROW. PARTLY IN RESPONSE TO BUILDING HIGH PRESSURE NORTHEAST OF THE STATE...THE GRADIENTS START TO CREEP UP FRIDAY NIGHT...FOR A RETURN TO LIGHT/MODERATE TRADES POSSIBLY BY SATURDAY AND SURELY BY SUNDAY. THE LIGHT/MODERATE TRADES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK. AN LOW ALOFT ABOUT 225 MILES WEST OF KAUAI IS EXPECTED TO WOBBLE AROUND IN PLACE OVER THE NEXT 36 TO 48 HOURS BEFORE DRIFTING WESTWARD AND FILLING IN. IN ITS CURRENT LOCATION...IT SHOULD NOT HAVE TOO MUCH OF AN EFFECT ON ISLAND WEATHER EXCEPT FOR PRODUCING SOME MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS OVER THE WESTERN ISLANDS. HOWEVER...A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WERE TRIGGERED ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE LOW ALOFT...SO IT DEFINITELY BEARS WATCHING IN CASE ONE OF ITS WOBBLES BRINGS THE LOW CLOSER TO THE ISLANDS. WHATEVER IS LEFT OF FORMER HURRICANE CARLOTTA...AND THERE IS NOT MUCH LEFT AT PRESENT...WILL REACH THE ISLANDS LATE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY IF THE REMNANTS MAINTAIN A WESTERLY TRACK. AT MOST EXPECT A SCANT INCREASE IN WINDWARD AND MAUKA CLOUDS AND SHOWERS. && .FIRE WEATHER... A SPOT FORECAST WAS ISSUED THIS MORNING FOR A WILD FIRE IN THE PUUANAHULU AREA ON THE BIG ISLAND. THIS FIRE...AND RECENT FIRES ON OAHU IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS...HIGHLIGHT THE FIRE WEATHER THREAT DUE TO THE DRY CONDITIONS IN PLACE. && .HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... NONE. && TANABE
