TAF: none issued. Forecast, issued Thu 0958 HST: The flooding threat will remain through the day primarily across the windward areas of the eastern half of the state. Conditions will generally be improving from this evening through Friday, but some localized downpours will continue for windward areas through Friday. For Oahu and Kauai, weather conditions will continue to improve this afternoon with fair trade wind weather expected over the next few days. A weak front will push through on Sunday with strong northerly trades following behind Sunday into Monday. Aviation outlook: Generally disorganized -SHRA/SHRA for much of the island chain with lesser coverage for Kauai. More organized SHRA/+SHRA for Maui with lowering VIS/CIGS for PHOG and to a lesser extent PHJH. Additional areas of showers elsewhere from Oahu to the Big Island generally focusing on windward TAF locales. VFR/MVFR is fairly common with periods of IFR under heavier and more persistent SHRA/+SHRA. This should continue through the day and at least into the early portion of the evening. Coverage of SHRA wanes a little overnight with increasing trade winds for tomorrow. AIRMET Sierra for mountain obscuration remains in effect abv 020 for Oahu through the Big Island. Conditions look to remain fairly consistent through much of the day. AIRMET Tango for Turbulence remains in effect from Molokai to the Big Island. Moderate turbulence between 100-FL200.
