.Synopsis for Hawaiian coastal waters...
Surface high pressure located far north of the coastal waters
will continue to drift southeast as a large area of low pressure
far northwest of Kauai will attribute to fresh to locally strong
easterly trade winds through this afternoon and gradually weaken
through Thursday. The low will move to the east Friday into the
weekend, pushing a surface ridge near the islands and causing
winds to further decline and eventually shift out of the
southeast and south.
