Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 230 AM EST Thu Jan 11 2024 Valid 00Z Fri Jan 12 2024 - 00Z Fri Jan 19 2024 An upper-level low centered northwest of the islands will tap tropical moisture and spread it across the state through the end of the week. Light rain is forecast across the state today before dryer air begins to work its way in ahead of an encroaching area of high pressure on Friday. High pressure and dryer conditions settle in this weekend. Tropical moisture associated with this week's rainfall will return early to the middle of next week as a north-central Pacific system deepens. Moist southerly flow yesterday will give way to the dominant trades today. High pressure advection into the area on Friday will support northerly advection across the state this weekend. The north-central Pacific system early next week will likely shift winds once again out of the south through the middle of next week. Kebede
