Weekend of sun with some clouds for the Hawaiian Islands

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The area of high pressure is expected to slowly move north over the weekend, which will help the trades weaken. A drier airmass is expected to move in, with limited clouds and showers mainly impacting the north and east sections of the islands. The one wrinkle to the forecast will be the evolution of an upper level disturbance to the north of the islands. This disturbance could help to enhance instability over the western half of the state which could bring some enhanced showers this weekend and early next week.

A great tool to have is our First Alert Weather App and interactive radar.

(Waves & Ocean) No marine warnings currently in effect for Hawaiian Waters.

A reinforcing longer period south swell is scheduled started to arrive last night. This little boost, in tandem with another small, long period south swell arriving Sunday night into Monday, will hold south-facing shore surf to slightly under summertime averages thru possibly Tuesday.

East-facing shore surf will remain rough as moderate to fresh trades blow through the day. A very small northwest swell originating behind a front hanging up far northwest of the islands may pass through early next week. This will keep north-facing shore surf from going completely flat.
