Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 244 AM EST Wed Nov 13 2024 Valid 00Z Thu Nov 14 2024 - 00Z Thu Nov 21 2024 Latest model guidance continue to show an upper level ridge and mean surface high pressure north to northeast of the islands maintaining brisk to strong easterly trade winds through at least this weekend. This may lead to high surf with showers tending to focus primarily over windward/mountain locations, with increasing moisture leading to some heavier showers along eastern slopes of the southernmost islands later in the week/next weekend. Amplified troughing will send a cold front south towards Hawaii early to mid next week, but there remains uncertainty on whether this front will reach as far south as the northern islands. Either way, this should result in trades turning more northerly and weakening. Santorelli
