Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 212 AM EST Wed Dec 18 2024 Valid 00Z Thu Dec 19 2024 - 00Z Thu Dec 26 2024 A couple of cold fronts sliding to the north this week will allow for a general land-sea breeze regime as moisture gets drawn northward ahead of the fronts and trade winds remain light and variable. The guidance shows good agreement that stronger ridging will gradually expand back over and north of the state by early next week with surface high pressure to the north. This should bring a return of a more typical easterly trade wind pattern and some stronger wind speeds. Santorelli
