.SYNOPSIS...
Breezy trades will persist through Tuesday, ease slightly
Wednesday through Friday, then become breezy again during the
weekend. Clouds and showers will be focused over windward and
mauka areas through the week, especially during the overnight and
early morning hours.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Stable June weather will persist through the week, with periods
of locally breezy trade winds focusing showers over windward and
mauka areas. Broad surface high pressure far north of the state
will maintain trades near current strength through at least
Tuesday. Winds will ease slightly on Wednesday as the high shifts
to the northeast, followed by a likely increase again during the
weekend as the high moves closer to the state. A mid-level ridge
overhead will maintain stable conditions, and pockets of moisture
in the trade wind flow will focus showers along windward areas,
especially at night. A diffuse band of shallow moisture will pass
over the islands late this afternoon through the evening and
produce a boost in windward showers, with top sites likely
receiving over a half inch of rain. Otherwise, no organized areas
of moisture are noted for the next few days. Aside from a few
passing showers tonight, leeward areas from Kauai to Maui will be
rather dry, and the Kona slopes of the Big Island will continue
to experience scattered showers each afternoon. High clouds over
the area will dissipate tonight as an upper-level low to the west
of Kauai is pushed away by a strengthening ridge aloft.

&&

.AVIATION...
Stable, breezy trades deliver clouds and showers mainly to
windward and mauka zones through the period. VFR prevails through
today with patchy MVFR possible within any showers. A shower band
lingering offshore threatens to bring more widespread MVFR
potential tonight.

AIRMET Tango remains in effect for low-level lee turb.

AIRMET Sierra for mountain obscuration may be needed for select
windward zones overnight.

&&

.MARINE...
High pressure north of the state will drive trades through the
rest of the week. A slight weakening trend in the winds is
expected as the high moves eastward. A Small Craft Advisory (SCA)
for the windier waters and channels near Maui and the Big Island
goes through 6 AM HST Wednesday with a likely extension.

A series of small, long-period, south swells will help boost surf
heights along south facing shores though the week. The current
south swell will decline through Tuesday followed by another small
south swell from Wednesday into Thursday.

Rough and choppy surf along east facing shores will continue this
week. Surf will remain nearly flat along north facing shores
throughout the forecast period.

.HFO WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
Small Craft Advisory until 6 AM HST Wednesday for Maalaea Bay-
Pailolo Channel-Alenuihaha Channel-Big Island Leeward Waters-Big
Island Southeast Waters.
