HAWAII EXTENDED FORECAST DISCUSSION
NWS WEATHER PREDICTION CENTER COLLEGE PARK MD
250 AM EST MON DEC 26 2022
VALID 00Z TUE DEC 27 2022 - 00Z TUE JAN 03 2023
A WEST-EAST ORIENTED RIDGE ALOFT, AS WELL AS A SURFACE RIDGE
EXTENDING WESTWARD FROM A HIGH EAST OF HAWAII, WILL PROMOTE RATHER
CALM AND DRY CONDITIONS ALL THIS WEEK AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK
ACROSS THE STATE. OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, TRADE WINDS SHOULD
GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN TO LIGHT-MODERATE LEVELS AS THE SURFACE HIGH
DRIFTS TOWARD AND SETTLES TO THE NORTHEAST OF HAWAII, PROVIDING AN
INCREASED PRESSURE GRADIENT. CLOUDINESS AND ANY SHOWERS WOULD
FAVOR WINDWARD AREAS IN THIS PATTERN, BUT THE RIDGE ALOFT SHOULD
KEEP THE ATMOSPHERE STABLE AND DRIER THAN NORMAL, LIMITING SHOWER
COVERAGE. TRADES ARE FORECAST TO ONCE AGAIN WEAKEN FOR THE LATTER
PART OF THE WEEK AS THE SURFACE HIGH DRIFTS EASTWARD AND A FRONT
OR TWO PASS BY WELL TO THE NORTH, ALLOWING FOR A LAND/SEA BREEZE
PATTERN.
