.DISCUSSION...
The latest satellite imageries continue to show cloudy codnitions
moving over the islands. Breezy easterlies with passing showers
observed throughout the day will likely remain for the rest of the
week into the new week. Upper air observations (RAOB) from this
afternoon (03/00Z) show moist conditions with fresh easterlies
supporting passing showers and breezy conditions. Model data also
show the high pressure system to the south lingering for the rest
of the week, before exiting to the east. Model data shows another
high pressure system from the southwest moving into the area,
maintaining the same conditions over the area for the rest of the
forecast period. Therefore, expect breezy conditions with higher
gusts and passing showers frmm time to time throughout the
forecast period.

.Marine...
The aforementioned high pressure system to the south will continue
to build winds and seas throughout this forecast period. Observations
from the PacIOOS buoys (King- Poloa and Aunu`u) show a gradual
build in seas with periods increasing to more than 15 seconds
long. Model data show these conditions remaining throughout the
rest of the forecast period, which also aligns with the fresh to
strong easterlies over the area. Periods more than 10 seconds long
are well known indicators of high surf and rip current
enhancements closer to shorelines. Expect the threat of enhanced
surfs, deadly rip currents, and choppy seas remaining through the
rest of the week. Thus, advisories for high surfs with significantly
strong rip currents, and small crafts will remain in effect
through the end of the forecast period.
