Meanwhile, a ridge of surface high pressure building northeast of the state will allow for moderate to locally strong east or east-southeast winds to persist through early Saturday. A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) remains in effect through 6am Saturday morning for most of the marine waters surrounding the Big Island and Maui County for strong winds, and the north and western waters around Kauai and Oahu have been added for building seas.
