Honolulu residents can expect the volatile weather to give way to a brief respite, with shower activity set to decrease from today until Tuesday. In the same breath, the complex upper-level low hovering over Hawaii is not planning on bidding farewell anytime soon, as it's likely to spawn more rain starting late Wednesday again, according to the latest forecast provided by the National Weather Service in Honolulu.
While the upper-level low is loosening its grip, allowing for the trade winds to dial down a notch, weather models are showing a split in certainty. With the complex system projected to weaken and shift northeastward, forecasters are hedging their bets due to the unsteady nature of the low's movements, as reported in the National Weather Service Honolulu weather forecast. As it haphazardly begins to deteriorate, a hybrid sea breeze might have room to sneak into the mix on the western slopes where the terrain shields better from the trades.
The latest National Weather Service update indicates that despite the ongoing disturbance, largely favorable flying conditions are expected to rule the skies over the islands. Mariners, though, should brace themselves for sporadic showers that could scale up, particularly in those areas nestled in the lee of the mountains.
Surf conditions are changing this week. South shore waves are calm for now but are expected to pick up by Sunday, possibly reaching normal seasonal levels midweek. In contrast, the north and west shores will stay quiet with only small waves. The east shore will remain choppy throughout the week, as per the National Weather Service.
