Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 247 AM EST Sat Jan 02 2021 Valid 00Z Sun Jan 03 2021 - 00Z Sun Jan 10 2021 Upper ridging to the northwest of the region will shift over the island chain early next week, promoting a rather quiet pattern through Friday. Trades will decrease around Tuesday as a weakening front stalls to the north and dissipates. Trades will pick up again Wednesday into Thursday. With precipitable water values only near one inch from time to time, light windward and mountain showers are forecast. A general model blend should suffice with good agreement overall. By next Friday into Saturday, ensembles indicate troughing dipping into the area, associated with a surface front that could approach the northwestern islands as it weakens. Fracasso
