An active and progressive Pacific storm track holds the bulk of
energy north of Hawaii for the first week of 2016. However, the
flow will periodically effect the Hawaiian Islands underneath. A
southeastward approach of a front into the state will ring in the
new year today. An additional slow frontal approach to the state
is expected during early next week with a lingering presence prior
to yet another possible late next week frontal approach. These
shower and moisture focusing features are supported as a series of
low systems pass to the north in the energetic mid-latitude based
flow slated to significantly amplify during the period. The late
week frontal surge has the potential to be the strongest given
flow amplitude by then in a favored composite of compatable model
and ensemble guidance.
