The National Weather Service in Honolulu is predicting a moderate reprieve from the blustery conditions experienced today, as trade winds are expected to weaken tomorrow, transitioning to a more gentle breeze through midweek; despite this slackening of winds, they will persist in ferrying showers to windward slopes and coasts with occasional spillage into leeward communities, according toNWSforecasts.
As of the early hours of the morning, with a high-pressure system positioned approximately 1450 miles north of Honolulu taking the helm, the islands have been subjected to a combination of mostly cloudy and partly cloudy skies, and scattered to numerous showers especially favoring windward areas, where the strong trade winds are dominating the current weather narrative they will ease up as we move into the week, but a Wind Advisory remains in full swing until 6 PM this evening for parts of Maui County and the Big Island.
The maritime community keeps a wary eye on gale-force winds that continue to churn the local waters, though relief should be coming as the offending high pressure weakens by tomorrow, leading to a sunset of the Gale Warning currently in place, surf conditions on east-facing shores remain tumultuous with the ongoing High Surf Advisory effective through early tomorrow morning while the north and south shores, susceptible to easterly wind waves, might see a surge in wave activity throughout the day, and for those by the coast, a Coastal Flood Statement has been issued to alert residents of potential increased inundation impacts through tomorrow morning due to peak monthly tides and robust trade winds.
In contrast, fire weather concerns stay elevated today, driven by the trinity of robust gusty winds, parched fuels, and teasingly critical humidity levels however, optimistically inching away from red-line conditions as winds reportedly should descend below critical thresholds come tomorrow, with a suspension in the trades forecasted as the week progresses into a more tranquil season.
Residents in the advisory zones should prepare for imminent weather conditions, with the National Weather Service maintaining a High Surf Advisory for many eastern shores, a Wind Advisory for several upland and coastal regions, and a Small Craft Advisory for almost all surrounding waters.
