HAWAII EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
257 AM EST FRI DEC 23 2022
VALID 00Z SAT DEC 24 2022 - 00Z SAT DEC 31 2022
OVERALL THE PATTERN ACROSS HAWAII THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK OR SO
LOOKS TO BE RATHER CALM AND DRY. IN THE SHORT TERM, A WEAK FRONT
APPROACHING THE NORTHWESTERN ISLANDS MAY CAUSE WINDS TO TURN
SOUTHWESTERLY OVER KAUAI AND OAHU, LEADING TO POSSIBLY MORE CLOUDS
AND MAYBE A FEW SHOWERS THAT FAVOR TYPICALLY LEEWARD AREAS.
ANOTHER COUPLE OF FRONTS ARE LIKELY TO STAY WELL NORTH OF THE
STATE THROUGH THE PERIOD, AND THUS RAINFALL SHOULD FOCUS NORTH AS
WELL. UPPER RIDGING IS FORECAST TO BUILD THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
BEYOND ATOP HAWAII, WHILE A SURFACE HIGH TO THE EAST BUILDS THE
WESTERN PART OF ITS RIDGE INTO THE STATE. THESE FEATURES WILL
ALLOW FOR GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS AS WELL AS WEAK WINDS FOR THE
MOST PART DOMINATED BY LAND AND SEA BREEZES.
