The National Weather Service in Honolulu forecasts dry and stable trade wind conditions today, with clouds and brief showers expected in windward and mauka areas. Winds are expected to gradually weaken and shift to an east-southeast direction over the weekend as a weakening front approaches from the northwest, as reported by the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service in Honolulu reports that a front is expected to arrive just north of the island chain by late Sunday into early next week. According to forecasts, "some interior and leeward afternoon clouds and showers where sea breezes form" could continue into the following week as another front develops northwest of Hawaii. Model predictions indicate a steady east-southeasterly wind flow, though forecasts vary on potential shifts later in the week.
Moderate easterly trade winds will continue, bringing clouds and brief morning showers to windward and mauka areas, with occasional reduced ceilings and visibility. A transition to land and sea breezes is expected tonight into Sunday, as mentioned by the National Weather Service. AIRMET Tango remains in effect for moderate turbulence between 25,000 and 35,000 feet south of the Big Island. The current northwest swell will weaken through the weekend, while a new swell arriving on Sunday “may produce surf near or to High Surf Warning thresholds during the peak Sunday night and Monday,” with 10-foot seas possibly prompting a Small Craft Advisory. Eastern shores will see calmer conditions as trade winds decrease, and a “tiny bump” is expected mid-next week on southern shores. No watches, warnings, or advisories are currently in effect.
