.DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT CONTINUES TO LINGER JUST NORTHWEST OF KAUAI THIS
MORNING. EXPECT LIGHT WINDS AGAIN WITH DEVELOPING DAYTIME SEA
BREEZES AND NIGHTTIME LAND BREEZES. AS IN PREVIOUS NIGHTS...A
NOCTURNAL INVERSION WILL DEVELOP TRAPPING HIGHER CONCENTRATIONS
OF VOLCANIC HAZE IN SOME AREAS. THESE CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE
SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE AS DAYTIME MIXING SCOURS OUT SOME OF THE
VOG. WEAK EASTERLY TRADE FLOW DEVELOPS TOMORROW...BUT WILL STILL
ALLOW FOR VARIABLE SEA BREEZES IN THE AFTERNOON. SHOWER ACTIVITY
WILL REMAIN LIGHT AND ISOLATED.
