Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 209 AM EST Sat Dec 16 2023 Valid 00Z Sun Dec 17 2023 - 00Z Sun Dec 24 2023 Models and ensembles generally agree that post-frontal trade winds will gradually decrease this weekend (though remaining breezy) and veer to a more easterly direction. Generally dry conditions are likely given the below normal moisture in place, but expect some windward terrain based showers. Moisture will gradually increase next week while easterly trades continue and restrengthen as potent surface highs bridge to the north of the state. This could lead to windward/mauka showers becoming more widespread by mid-later next week when guidance shows precipitable water values reverting to above normal levels under general influence of a mean upper trough position.
