NWS Honolulu, HI wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Mar 25, 4:00 PM HST, 50 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI 400 PM HST SAT MAR 25 2006 .SYNOPSIS... THE TROUGH WEST OF KAUAI WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WITH SEVERAL MORE EPISODES OF WET WEATHER. THE FIRST EPISODE WILL BE SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING INTO MONDAY AND A WEAKER ONE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. && .DISCUSSION... THE MAIN UPPER LOW RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNSTABLE WET WEATHER PATTERN IS PRESENTLY NEAR 170W. A WAVE IN THIS TROUGH ROTATES ACROSS THE WESTERN ISLANDS MONDAY...ANOTHER ON WEDNESDAY. THERE IS A QUESTION OF WHETHER THIS TROUGH WILL ACTUALLY SHIFT EAST OF THE STATE BY SATURDAY AS THE LONG RANGE GFS INDICATES...NICE TO CONTEMPLATE BUT TOO SOON TO BET ON IT. VERY LITTLE SHOWER ACTIVITY OVER THE STATE PRESENTLY. STRONG CONVECTION THIS AFTERNOON HAS BEGUN ON SLOPES OF THE BIG ISLAND AND MAUI DESPITE THE HIGH CLOUDS. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE SOME OF THE STATE WILL RECEIVE HEAVY PRECIPITATION AND POSSIBLE FLOODING SUNDAY AFTERNOON OR EVENING INTO MONDAY MORNING SINCE SIGNIFICANT MOISTURE IS BEING TAPPED AS FAR SOUTH AS 10N AND THE UPPER ATMOSPHERIC FLOW IS DIRECTING IT TOWARD US. EVEN AFTER MONDAY SHORT WAVES IN THIS UPPER FLOW WILL CONTINUE PRODUCING SHOWERS THAT WILL BE OCCASIONALLY HEAVY. GFS AND NOGAPS FOLLOW THIS OUTLINE AND WE WILL ADHERE TO THIS GENERAL IDEA. IN DISAGREEMENT THOUGH IS THE ETA MODEL WHICH KEEPS A BAND OF HEAVY PRECIPITATION JUST WEST OF KAUAI SUNDAY AND THEN MOVES IT OVER KAUAI SUNDAY NIGHT AND THEN ALSO TO OAHU MONDAY. ASIDE FROM THIS AFTERNOON CONVECTION OVER THE OVER THE BIG ISLAND AND MAUI SUMMITS...THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SNOW MAY NOT ARRIVE UNTIL TONIGHT OR SUNDAY. NEAR HIGH SURF CONDITIONS OF 8 FEET ON THE EAST FACING SHORES EXPOSED TO THE NORTH SWELL TONIGHT DECREASING SLOWLY TOMORROW. && .HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... WINTER STORM WATCH SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT FOR MAUNA KEA AN MAUNA LOA. FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH LATE MONDAY NIGHT FOR ALL ISLANDS. HOAG
