HONOLULU (KHON2) – Locally breezy and stable trade winds will persist through tonight, bringing just a few showers to windward areas.
Winds will diminish Monday, and will remain light for the remainder of the week.
The light winds will combine with a ridge aloft to support a mostly dry weather pattern.
An area of low pressure will persist in one form or another for most of the next week while another low develops far northeast of the islands Monday into Tuesday.
This will lead to a significant reduction in the low-level pressure gradient leading to light east to southeast winds through this week.
The ridge aloft will remain overhead, and a mostly dry regime is likely.
Best chance for a shower may be over leeward areas in the afternoons as sea breeze convergence drives cloud formation, with a slight chance of windward showers at night.
Although confidence is quite low due to significant spread in the guidance, a slow-moving low aloft may develop near the islands next weekend and into early next week, potentially leading to a more wetter and more active weather regime for a few days.
A Coastal Flood Statement for all coastal zones is highlighting the fact that higher than forecast water levels are combining with full moon high tides, bringing the potential for minor coastal flooding, mainly during the early morning hours through Monday morning.
