HONOLULU (KHON2) - High pressure will maintain north to northeast of the state through the week keeping breezy trade winds in the forecast.
Ridging aloft will produce dry and stable conditions to go along with the breezes.
Visible satellite shows scattered windward clouds, and broken cloud cover over the Kona coast of the Big Island.
Clouds on the Big Island should dissipate after sunset as land breezes set in.
Otherwise, expect a similar weather pattern continuing through the next several days with a few windward clouds and leeward sun.
The high is expected to slowly track eastward through the week with a low pressure system shifting the high a little bit southward by next weekend.
Weather pattern across Hawaii will change very little with minor fluctuations in wind speeds, and mostly dry and stable conditions continuing.
A few windward clouds and showers will occur at times, but no significant rain amounts are expected through the week.
Surf along south-facing shores will remain up through the week due to an active pattern within our swell window near New Zealand.
Overlapping, long-period, south to south-southwest swells are therefore expected.
Guidance shows this swell peaking late tonight through Monday.
A downward trend is anticipated Tuesday through midweek, with mainly a mix of the fading south- southwest swell and a small, medium- period southeast swell.
A fresh long- period south swell is expected to arrive Thursday night into Friday, then peak late Friday into Saturday.
High Surf Advisory until 6 PM HST Monday for south facing shores of Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Kahoolawe and Big Island.
Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Tuesday for Maalaea Bay, Pailolo Channel, Alenuihaha Channel, Big Island Leeward Waters, Big Island Southeast Waters.
