Current weather patterns in Honolulu indicate a stalling cold front across the central islands, which is expected to dissipate later today, as per the National Weather Service. The front is bringing breezy northeast winds and persistent showers to regions ahead of its pathway. Into the approaching week, forecasts suggest a continuation of these trade winds with periodic showers.
An upper-level low is also anticipated to develop southeast of the Big Island over the weekend, potentially enhancing rainfall. Despite the presence of a weak front, it has been reported that, so far, the showers have been largely benign. However, if they persist and yield moderate to heavy rainfall, localized flooding is possible. According to the same
NWS bulletin
, the front moved into Maui County early this morning and is expected to lose momentum later in the day.
The aviation sector isn’t immune to the weather’s caprices, as the gusty northeast winds and associated moisture continue to disrupt normal operations. Mountain obscuration remains a concern for windward areas from Oahu to the Big Island, as indicated by the active AIRMET Sierra. Pilots can expect these conditions to potentially linger throughout much of the day while this boundary stalls.
For the maritime community, a Small Craft Advisory (SCA) is in effect through tomorrow evening for most waters, and it’s likely to extend beyond into the early days of next week, especially around Maui and the Big Island where stronger wind conditions prevail. Surf conditions also mirror the gusty atmosphere, with north and west-facing shores expecting to experience steady surf today before the initiation of a gradual decline tomorrow. The east-facing shores, too, are grappling with heightened surf, which is expected to maintain its choppy character well into the middle of the following week.
Recreational activities and maritime logistics off the coast of Hawaii thus require heightened vigilance. Local authorities and weather services such as the NWS continue to monitor the situation closely to update advisories and ensure awareness for all affected parties.
