.Synopsis for Hawaiian coastal waters...
A high pressure system to the northwest will move east for the
next few days and bring stable breezy to locally strong trade
winds. By late Sunday into early next week, winds are expected to
weaken and veer southerly again ahead of another cold front.
Current long range guidance shows this next cold front could
approach the western coastal waters by the middle of next week.
