Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 242 AM EST Sun Dec 22 2024 Valid 00Z Mon Dec 23 2024 - 00Z Mon Dec 30 2024 Going into next week, the model guidance agrees well that the surface high should rebuild north of the state near 30 degrees north, and thus a more steady easterly trade wind flow should resume, compared to the lighter and more variable winds currently in place. This high should then be northeast of the state by midweek, with the Islands on the southwestern periphery of the high, with an expansive low pressure system developing well to the northwest of the state. A col may develop in the surface ridge as another trailing cold front approaches the state late in the week, with the ensemble means in reasonably good agreement on this. No major rainfall events are currently expected across the state over the next 7 days. Hamrick
