HONOLULU (KHON2) โ Moisture embedded within deep layer SW flow extends well upstream of the Big Island and will continue to deliver waves of rainfall through at least Monday night and potentially Tuesday. However, the lack of large scale forcing during this time will likely result in a trend toward lower intensity rainfall compared to what was observed yesterday or even today. At the same time, the weakening background wind field may allow the overnight mountain breeze to more effectively focus stronger convection offshore at night. Rather nondescript surface pressure and wind fields takes shape during Tuesday which should finally bring an end to the steady stream of rainfall. At this time, the Flood Watch will remain in effect for the Big Island and Maui, though confidence in the moisture band lifting sufficiently far north to impact Maui again is low at thistime. The Wind Advisory will end with issuance of the afternoon forecast package, and the High Wind Warning for Haleakala and the Big Island summits will be extended through tonight. Attention then turns to mid to late week when the remnant frontal band reactivates in response to renewed mid/upper forcing followed by potential development of low pressure west of the islands during the second half of the week. Flood Watch through late tonight for Lanai Mauka-Kahoolawe-Maui Windward West-Maui Leeward West-Haleakala Summit-Kona-Kohala-Big Island Interior-Molokai-Lanai Windward-Lanai Leeward-Lanai South-Maui Central Valley North-Maui Central Valley South-WindwardHaleakala-Kipahulu-South Maui/Upcountry-South Haleakala-Big Island South-Big Island Southeast-Big Island East-Big Island North.
