NWS Forecaster Discussion
193 fxhw60 phfo 231331 afdhfo Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Honolulu HI 330 am HST Monday Nov 23 2009 Synopsis... high pressure northeast of the state will shift further east allowing trade winds to drop to moderate levels to start the week. Trades will increase again middle week. Showers will remain focused on windward and mountain terrain over the next several days. && Discussion... still no significant changes to the forecast to wrap up the night shift. Shower activity will remain windward focused Monday with only light accumulations. Kept windward areas at pop 30-40 at the most tomorrow. Looking upstream towards the east there is an axis of higher precipitable water/relative humidity that could bring slightly higher probability of precipitation to windward zones late Tuesday night through Thursday morning. Did introduce a slight pop increase with numerous showers during the nighttime hours Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Trades will be a hair lighter to get the work week started due to an amplifying trough to the north. They will pick up again middle week and hold through the remainder of the forecast period as high pressure reasserts itself north of the area. && Previous discussion.../issued 800 PM HST Sunday night/ not expecting any significant changes to the benign trade wind pattern from the day shift. Water vapor imagery depicts a southeastward moving shear axis over the islands. This is contributing to some minor instability well above 15 kft...which is well out of reach of the locally limited moisture in the well capped boundary layer. Blended total precipitable water imagery reveals generally dry air upstream with Hawaii...which is sitting just outside the northern fringe of the rich tropical inter-tropical convergence zone moisture to the south. Some of this moisture may graze the state late Tuesday through Thursday. However...with stable thermodynamic profiles expected to persist...this will limit the vertical development of any showers keeping them windward terrain focused middle week. Trades will weaken slightly during the first half of the week as high pressure to our northeast is displaced further east by an amplifying deep layered trough to the north. Middle latitude flow will remain progressive ushering in height rises and surface high pressure to our north again by middle week allowing trade winds to strengthen once again. This will also limit the equatorward reach of any attendant frontal activity. Regardless of fluctuating batches of moisture passing in the trades the weather will remain pleasant through the forecast period. && Marine... no changes were made to the high surf advisory. Surf will remain solid into Tuesday...but should drop below advisory levels by then. The surf along north facing beaches/reefs will begin to increase abruptly again Tuesday night potentially requiring a high surf warning for waves exceeding 25 feet on the face by Wednesday with a slow decrease to follow thereafter. It is not out of the question for advisory level surf to persist through the remainder of the week along north facing shores. South facing shores will see continued waist to shoulder high southern hemi swell today. A decreasing trend will begin Monday night through middle week. Modest southeast swell will appear during the second half of the week possibly hitting the chest high mark along the better exposed reefs/beaches. The surf forecast product will be updated later this afternoon at 300 PM HST. && Aviation... VFR conditions will be the call for the terminals today with generally dry trade winds continuing. Phny will could see the usual intermittent MVFR ceilings this afternoon due the to the field elevation. Otherwise...no widespread flight restrictions are expected through the near term with any MVFR conditions remaining confined to windward terrain. && Hfo watches/warnings/advisories... high surf advisory until 6 am HST Tuesday for Niihau-Kauai windward-Kauai leeward-Oahu North Shore-Oahu koolau-Molokai-Maui windward west-windward Haleakala. && $$ Dejesus
