The upper-level low that triggered thunderstorms, snow on Mauna Kea and a funnel cloud over Central O’ahu today, has moved east of the state. The atmosphere is much more stable so we’re back to scattered showers windward and mauka mainly at night and in the morning. However, the trades have lightened up and turned east southeast for the smaller islands so leeward and interior sections will be sunny in the morning and see an increase in clouds and some showers in the afternoon because of the effects of sea breezes and daytime heating. This is the pattern for the next couple of days. Come Wednesday, another upper-level low is forecast to drop down over the central islands and park itself south of O’ahu by Thursday night. This low should be weaker than the one that just left, so for now, the forecast for a thunderstorm or two is just for the Kona slopes of Mauna Loa on Hawai’i Island.
The front is weakening because of a cold front northwest of Kaua’i. That front should dissipate by Wednesday, allowing the tradewinds to build back in to moderate levels Wednesday through Friday.
A high surf advisory is in effect for all south facing shores at least until 6pm Monday. 5-8 foot faces expected. Surf on south shores expected to remain shoulder to head high through the week.
