GENERALIZED STATEWIDE COASTAL WATERS FORECAST FOR HAWAII
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HONOLULU HI
426 AM HST FRI SEP 4 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.
