The National Weather Service in Honolulu is forecasting a mix of weather for Hawaii in the coming days. Trade winds will strengthen to breezy to strong levels by midweek, with wind advisories possible in some areas starting Tuesday night. Overall, expect dry conditions for most of the week, with winds tapering off toward the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
An upper-level low will pass south of the Big Island from Wednesday to Friday. This "may enhance rainfall coverage over the eastern half of the state lasting into next weekend." Trade winds will pick up, leading to light to moderate conditions for aviation, with some turbulence. Mariners should be aware of Small Craft Advisory conditions, with strong winds expected across most waters starting today, as stated by the National Weather Service.
A north-northwest swell will bring bigger surf to north and west-facing shores, possibly reaching advisory levels through Tuesday. "Surf along east-facing shores will rise through the week." On the Big Island, "relative humidity (RH) levels will approach critical thresholds," which could increase fire weather risks. A High Wind Warning is in effect for the Big Island Summits until 6 PM HST today, and a Small Craft Advisory will stay in place through Wednesday for areas like Maalaea Bay and the Big Island Leeward Waters. Stay alert for changing conditions, as reported by the National Weather Service.
