Aviation section from the Area Forecast Discussion
issued at: Jun 19, 2013 3:30 AM HST
Expect little significant change in aviation weather around the main Hawaiian islands today. Conditions will remain mostly VFR, except for brief periods of MVFR ceilings and/or visibilities over some windward and mauka areas in low clouds and SHRA.
Data from the VAD wind profiles appear to be showing values less than the threshold which might indicate tempo moderate low-level mechanical turbulence may occur leeward of the mountains on the islands. Therefore, we do not anticipate issuing an airmet for low-level turbulence this morning.
