Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 231 AM EST Sun Jan 05 2025 Valid 00Z Mon Jan 06 2025 - 00Z Mon Jan 13 2025 Guidance still seems to reasonably agree in showing a generally fair weather pattern for Hawaii over the next couple of days with disrupted trades and ridging aloft. Southerly wind is still slated to reach the western islands around midweek, supported by amplified upper trough approach and slow passage to the north and increasingly over the state with time. These features could increase and enhance rain chances as moisture pools along the then stalling front. Post-frontal winds will increase later week as high pressure re-bridges to the north of the islands in an expected transition to a more windward terrain focusing rainfall pattern to tap the lingering pooled moisture plume. Trades may slacken some next weekend under emerging troughing aloft/east of the islands. Schichtel
