HONOLULU (KHON2) - Showers will continue to move into windward and mauka areas, with a focus over Kauai and Oahu, through tonight and into tomorrow as the front stalls and further dissipates. Moderate to breezy east-northeast winds will continue to filter in across the western end of the state tonight as a surface ridge builds behind the frontal boundary, with slightly weaker easterly trades moving across the rest of the island chain. An upper level trough will continue to dip down across the state through tomorrow, then form a cutoff low to the southeast of the Big Island. The proximity of this feature to the island chain and its accompanying instability will likely help to enhance windward showers through the rest of the weekend and into early next week. The subtropical ridge will build back over the islands from the west early next week, pushing the upper level trough east of the Big Island by Monday night, which should allow a more typical trade wind pattern to commence through the end the year and into the start of the new. Then as a series of fronts approach from the northwest, winds will once again veer east-southeast by the end of next week. The next front to make it across at least the western end of the state looks to arrive sometime next weekend into early next week. The University of Hawaii (UH) Vog Model shows that SO2 emissions have mostly cleared out of the smaller islands and should remain confined to portions of the Big Island and the waters to the southwest through the weekend.
