Synopsis: As high pressure far north of the islands edges slightly south and east through this weekend, and interacts with a couple of lows and troughs passing to the south and southwest of Hawaii, trades will remain fresh to strong. A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) is in effect for the windier channels and waters around Maui County and the Big Island through early Saturday morning. This SCA will likely need to be extended through at least Saturday night, before weakening high pressure to the north allows winds to diminish once again into early next week.
