First Alert Forecast: Winds back down to regular trade wind speeds
Mostly sunny skies for today, small bump in south shore waves
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Our weather is changing as the breezy to windy conditions will lighten up slightly across the state.
The pattern will change today as the high pressure ridge north of the state weakens. These strong trade wind speeds will start to decrease to more moderate to breezy levels for the rest of the week.
This will help to ease fire weather conditions somewhat across the state, however, we still have to be cautious.
A great tool to have is our First Alert Weather App and interactive radar.
(WAVES) The next small, long- period south swell started to build last night and will peak tomorrow, meaning surf heights may rise slightly today before gradually easing again through Friday.
Guidance shows that another, smaller long-period reinforcement could arrive Friday night into the first half of the weekend.
Surf along east-facing shores will be rough and choppy due to the gusty easterly trade winds.
As the trades ease so will the surf on the east side.
Waves will be 0-2 on the north shore with 2-4 in the west, 3-5 on the east and south facing shorelines.
