Synopsis: Fresh to strong east to southeast winds associated with a surface ridge extending southwest into the region, will remain in place through the weekend. Expect the strongest winds and roughest conditions within the channels, along the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island, windward waters, and south of the Big Island. A Small Craft Advisory has been expanded and extended to add the Kaiwi channel and Oahu windward waters through Saturday night. As the surface ridge begins to weaken early next week, a broad low pressure is expected to develop nearby to the west.
North and East Shores: East to southeast
South and West shores: East to southeast
