Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 204 AM EST Tue Dec 19 2023 Valid 00Z Wed Dec 20 2023 - 00Z Wed Dec 27 2023 Models and ensembles reasonably agree that moisture will 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 through the extended holiday weekend.
