HAWAII EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION

VALID 00Z SUN DEC 25 2022 - 00Z SUN JAN 01 2023
OVERALL THE PATTERN ACROSS HAWAII THROUGH THE NEXT WEEK OR SO
LOOKS TO BE RATHER CALM AND DRY. IN THE SHORT TERM, SOME
SOUTHERLY/SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
PARTICULARLY OVER KAUAI AND OAHU THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY IN
RESPONSE TO A WEAKENING FRONT THAT WILL STAY NORTH OF THE STATE.
BUT BY EARLY NEXT WEEK, WEAK WINDS SHOULD PREVAIL AND WILL BE
DOMINATED BY LOCALIZED LAND AND SEA BREEZES. ADDITIONALLY, A RIDGE
ALOFT ALONG WITH A SURFACE HIGH TO THE EAST WILL PROMOTE DRY
WEATHER ALL THE WAY THROUGH NEXT WEEK AS ANY FRONTAL BOUNDARIES
STAY TO THE NORTH OF THESE FEATURES. AROUND TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY THIS
HIGH MAY DRIFT CLOSER TO HAWAII, STRENGTHENING TRADE WINDS A BIT
WITH THE INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT, BUT WINDS ARE LIKELY TO
WEAKEN AGAIN FOR THE LATTER HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
