HONOLULU (KHON2) – As the area of greatest rainfall potential gradually shifts westward to the western end of the state by Monday, further adjustments to the Flood Watch may be needed.
As ridging builds and trades remain locally breezy over the next few days, the areas of greatest, most intense rainfall will be windward and mauka areas.
However, sheltered leeward locations could also see some moderate to heavy showers, particularly through early this evening and again tomorrow afternoon.
Meanwhile, over the Big Island summits, snow that occurred early this morning largely melted during the day as temperatures hovered just above the freezing mark.
However, with ample moisture lingering in the area and with temperatures expected to once again drop near or below freezing tonight, some additional snowfall and/or ice accumulation will be possible.
Therefore, the Winter Weather Advisory for the Big Island summits will continue through tonight.
As the upper low washes out Tuesday and Wednesday, a breezy and increasingly more stable trade wind regime is expected. Pockets of higher mid-level moisture riding in on trades will contribute to intermittent increases in windward shower activity throughout the rest of the week.
Flood Watch through 6 AM HST Monday for all Hawaiian Islands.
Winter Weather Advisory until 6 AM HST Monday for Big Island Summits.
Small Craft Advisory until 6 PM HST Monday for Maalaea Bay, Pailolo Channel, Alenuihaha Channel, Big Island Leeward Waters, Big Island Southeast Waters.
