Synopsis
:
A weak high pressure ridge will remain nearly stationary over the central waters this weekend. A cold front will sweep from west to east down the island chain on Monday, stalling near the Big Island by Monday night. An even stronger cold front will quickly move through the islands, spreading strong to near gale force winds across the northwestern coastal waters late next week from Wednesday into Thursday. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect for Hawaiian Coastal Waters exposed to the large northwest swell, these elevated seas are forecast to last in Sunday for waters and channels exposed to the northwest swell.
