Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 215 AM EST Sun Dec 17 2023 Valid 00Z Mon Dec 18 2023 - 00Z Mon Dec 25 2023 Models and ensembles reasonably agree in showing moderate to breezy trades today with limited windward terrain based showers in a pattern with below normal moisture. Moisture will gradually increase this week while easterly trades continue and strengthen as potent surface high pressure cells bridge to the north of the state. This could lead to windward/mauka showers becoming more widespread by mid-later week when guidance shows precipitable water values rising to above normal levels with the state in vicinity of a mean upper trough position whose influence wanes by next weekend.
