.Short term...
[TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT]...
A strong high pressure system to the south will dominate the area
through the new week. Expect windy conditions to remain through
Friday, even though winds have fallen slightly below advisory
threshold (25 mph). Model guidance suggests the high pressure
system will vary in strength through the new week, which will
impact wind speeds. For instance, winds are expected to build
again to advisory levels overnight into Friday morning before
diminishing to 10 to 15 mph on Saturday. Hence, the Wind advisory
remains in effect. East to southeast winds are expected to persist
throughout this time, along with isolated to scattered showers.

.Long term...
[SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY]...
By Sunday, the aforementioned high pressure will strengthen once
again, maintaining breezy trades through the rest of the week.
Showers embedded within the trade wind flow are possible.

.Marine...
Latest wave heights observed at the Aunu`u PacIOOS buoy remain
around 9 to 11 feet, with low peak periods around 9 seconds that
suggest wind-driven waves. Model guidance maintains these wave
heights through Friday, before subsiding thereafter. A Small Craft
and High Surf Advisory remains in effect. However, a large south
swell expected tonight could hold the High Surf Advisory through
Saturday. A breezy to windy pattern will also keep hazardous
ocean conditions for the rest of the forecast period.
