1037 PM HST THU SEP 3 2026
SYNOPSIS FOR HAWAIIAN COASTAL WATERS
A STRONG SURFACE HIGH PERSISTS FAR NORTH OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS
AND WILL SLOWLY DRIFT EAST THROUGH THE WEEKEND. CURRENTLY,
HURRICANE LOWELL IS PASSING SOUTH OF THE ISLANDS AS IT CONTINUES
TO TRACK WEST. THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE TWO WILL STRENGTHEN THE
TRADE WINDS ACROSS THE COASTAL WATERS TO FRESH TO LOCALLY NEAR
GALE FORCE. AS HURRICANE LOWELL TURNS NORTH, HOW CLOSE IT GETS TO
THE STATE, IS YET TO BE DETERMINED. AS FOR HURRICANE KARINA,
CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING THAT KARINA WILL PASS TO THE NORTH AND
NORTHEAST OF THE STATE.
