Mostly drier trend through the weekend with light to moderate trade winds. Some brief windward showers, but probably not enough to make it over to the leeward side.We know that vog from Kilauea Volcano/Hawaii Island can make some people uncomfortable; Kilauea being just above 4,000 ft above sea level. The eruption of Mauna Loa is about the 13,000 ft level, which means most of the particulate will not affect lower elevation populated areas of any of the islands. National Weather Service, HVO and USGS continue to monitor this dynamic situation.A large, long period west northwest swell will build in today, peak tonight and Friday morning and then gradually fall Friday night into the weekend. This swell is expected to be large enough to increase north and west-facing shore surf, due to the more westerly swell direction, to High Surf Advisory (HSA) levels on the main islands (except Big Island) today.

Today locally windy conditions will diminish dropping below advisory levels later this afternoon, then remaining breezy through this evening. The winds will further weaken Saturday, which should allow for some local afternoon sea breeze and night time land breeze circulations into Sunday. Temperatures will remain on the cooler side again today, along with slightly drier humidity, as the airmass today remains similar to Thursday. High Surf Warning for the North facing shores of most Hawaiian Islands. A large swell NNE swell will move into Hawaiian waters with warning level surf lasting through Saturday. High Surf Warnings (HSW) for north facing shores will likely be dropped into the High Surf Advisory range by Saturday night. High Surf Advisory conditions are likely for north facing shores from Saturday night through Sunday. Lighter winds on Sunday will produce cleaner sets. Another small swell from the Northwest direction also arrives Sunday, peaking Tuesday.

Unstable weather that was just north of Maui and O'ahu last night has begun to taper off. The trade winds will return along with more stable weather conditions. Models show that as the upper trough exits the area to the east, stronger trade winds will return this afternoon with a drier than average trade shower pattern Monday and Tuesday. Models hint at a front approaching Hawaii from the northwest beginning Wednesday night. As we head into Thanksgiving Day, a band of showers and large area of strong northeast winds behind the front could move into the island chain. This is far out in the broadcast week, so how much wind and moisture could vary, but the forecast could show 15-30 mph winds with locally higher gusts.

Lots of sunshine with locally breezy trades focusing showers over windward zones.

Lots of sunshine with locally breezy trades focusing showers over windward zones. The greatest coverage of showers through mid- week will be over Windward Maui and Big Island. An approaching trough will then bring potential for an increase in showers during the latter half of the week. Thursday into the weekend will feature a reduction in stability that will, at the least, contribute to a tendency for heavier trade wind showers. As we get closer to the weekend, we'll better be able to forecast for the potential for thunder over the Big Island on Thursday and/or Friday as the trough moves into the area.

Transition weather day for parts of the states as a showery cloud band will move across Kauai tonight through Friday. Trade winds will push over the eastern end of the state late Friday afternoon and will bring a band of moisture along with it.

A typical trade wind weather pattern is expected for the weekend and into next week, which means lots of sunshine with windward and mauka showers drifting leeward at times.The current north swell held near the 15-foot advisory threshold this morning, but will gradually lower through tonight. No other significant northwest or north swells are likely through the middle of next week.

Transition weather day for parts of the states as a showery cloud band will move across Kauai through Friday.

A stalled front near Molokai will weaken and become a surface trough later this morning. Moderate northeast winds persist west of the front, while light and variable winds are over the eastern islands. Once it develops, the surface trough will move back toward the western end of the island chain from later today through Friday. This will likely keep a wet weather pattern across portions of the state, especially on Oahu and Kauai, during the next couple of days. The High Surf Advisory has been extended for north facing shores of Kauai, Oahu and Maui County through tonight and may need to be extended for some zones later this afternoon.

Moderate to locally breezy trade winds and more typical windward and mauka focused showers will return over the weekend and hold in place through early next week. A larger, but shorter-period, north swell is expected to arrive today and may bring advisory level surf to north facing shores tonight and tomorrow. It will also likely bring SCA-level seas to exposed waters requiring the expansion and extension of the advisory. The swell will lower Thursday night through Saturday. Small background south swells are expected, with a series of slightly larger, longer-period south swells expected today through Saturday.
