.SYNOPSIS...
Winds expected to ramp up Friday as a front moves across the
island chain bringing clouds and showers tonight and Friday
favoring north facing slopes. Drier and cooler conditions will
follow the front and continue into the weekend. The winds will
remain strong through the weekend into early next week veering
easterly by Sunday.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Visible satellite shows a moisture axis over Oahu and Maui County
this afternoon from a weak front passing to the north. This weak
boundary moving through combined with a shortwave trough and a
developing cold front quickly approaching from the west will be
enough to keep the rainfall chances in the forecast through
Friday.
The cold front reach the western end of the state early Friday
morning and will bring a quick round of showers west to east
through the rest of the day favoring north facing slopes along
and ahead of the front. Winds will strengthen out of the north
ushering in drier and cooler air behind the front as high pressure
sets up far north of the state. Winds will approach advisory
levels Friday night through Sunday for some exposed locations and
will consider adding any highlights for winds tonight. Dewpoints
will dip well into the 50s by late Friday, then remain in place
through the weekend as the northerly winds gradually veer out of
the northeast Saturday, then out of the east through the day
Sunday. Conditions should be mostly dry this weekend aside from
isolated windward showers.
A more typical breezy easterly trade wind pattern is expected
through the first half of next week. The cool and dry air mass
will steadily modify and moisten as the winds shift out of the
east early next week, which supports increasing windward and mauka
showers returning to the forecast.

We are urging customers to prepare for heavy rains and winds impacting Oahu, Maui County, Hawaii island on Friday, Feb. 2, 2024 and Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024.
During severe weather, strong winds can blow trees or debris into power lines, causing outages and damaging electrical equipment. Falling trees can hit utility poles or overhead lines, knocking lines down or causing poles to lean, which may result in outages. Heavy rains can also lead to flooding of underground cables or other equipment.
Due to our enhanced wildfire safety protocols, outages in areas designated by the state as at-risk for wildfires may experience longer outages. It may be necessary to conduct visual or aerial inspections to ensure that power may be safely restored, a process that can be time consuming, especially in rural or mountainous areas. For more information, please visit: hawaiianelectric.com/wildfiresafety.
If you see a downed power line, assume it is energized and dangerous. Stay at least 30 feet – 3 car lengths – or more away from all power lines. Warn others to stay away. Call our Trouble Line at 1-855-304-1212 (Oahu), 808-871-7777 (Maui), 1-877-871-8461 (Molokai, Lanai, toll free), 808-969-6666 (Hawaii Island) or for emergency assistance call 911.
Safety is our priority. We urge customers to make it their top priority, too:
• Check emergency supplies and keep a battery-operated radio on hand with a fresh supply of batteries.
• Record your Hawaiian Electric account in a location that will be readily available. By knowing your account number, you will be able to quickly access your account online at hawaiianelectric.com, using your computer or mobile device. Also have our Trouble Line number (1-855-304-1212 (Oahu), 808-871-7777 (Maui), 1-877-871-8461 (Molokai, Lanai, toll free), 808-969-6666 (Hawaii Island)) handy.
• For updates and alerts, follow Hawaiian Electric on Facebook (facebook.com/HawaiianElectric), X (X.com/hwnelectric) or via our free mobile app (available on Apple App and Google Play stores).
• If someone in your home is dependent on electrically powered, life-sustaining medical equipment, check backup power supplies. Plan where to go should the need for evacuation occurs. If you need to go to the hospital or other emergency shelter, remember to take your medical equipment and medications with you to the facility.
• If you plan to use a portable generator, make sure it is placed in a well-ventilated area outside the home, and be sure to carefully follow all instructions in the manufacturer’s manual.
• If you experience an outage, turn off and unplug any unnecessary electrical equipment, especially sensitive electronics. In the event of an outage, this will prevent damage to the equipment from surges when power is restored.
• If you have a rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system, consult with your licensed solar contractor regarding normal and emergency operation procedures for your solar system. Most rooftop PV systems are designed to safely shut down during outages. This is a safety precaution to prevent reverse power flow into power lines while utility crews are working on restoration. PV systems typically have monitoring systems that allow owners to check on the status of their systems. For safety tips, visit hawaiianelectric.com/rooftopsolarsafety.
• If you are cooking when an outage occurs, remember to turn off the stove, oven, or other appliances, and remove all items such as pots and pans from the burners.

With a subdivision elevation range of 700 to 1500 ft. I suppose this could be correct for the very top?
