Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 213 AM EST Mon Dec 18 2023 Valid 00Z Tue Dec 19 2023 - 00Z Tue Dec 26 2023 Guidance generally agrees that moisture will gradually return 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 and pooling moisture should wane for the upcoming extended holiday weekend.
