VALID 00Z SUN NOV 26 2023 - 00Z SUN DEC 03 2023  
 
HIGH PRESSURE MOVING IN TO THE NORTH OF HAWAII SHOULD BRING A  
BRIEF RETURN TO MODERATE TRADE WIND ACTIVITY SUNDAY INTO MONDAY  
WITH ADDITIONAL MOISTURE BEGINNING TO BE DRAWN NORTHWARD AROUND  
THE SAME TIME AS WELL AS SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY BREAKS OFF, CLOSES  
OFF A LOW WEST OF THE STATE, AND THEN OPENS UP AGAIN AND ADVANCES  
EASTWARD AROUND MONDAY. AFTER THIS THOUGH, MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW  
GOOD AGREEMENT ON A LIKELY KONA LOW SETTING UP WEST OF THE STATE  
AROUND MID WEEK WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES INCREASING UP TO  
TWO OR MORE STANDARD DEVIATIONS ABOVE NORMAL BY THURSDAY. THE  
GUIDANCE CONTINUES TO SHOW PLENTY OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE EXACT  
PLACEMENT OF THE LOW, WITH IMPACTS ON WHERE THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL  
SETS UP. AT LEAST THROUGH THIS MORNINGS NEW 00Z RUNS, THE UKMET IS  
DISPLACED CLOSEST TO HAWAII, WITH THE BETTER CLUSTER OF GUIDANCE  
SUGGESTING A LOCATION SLIGHTLY FARTHER WEST. REGARDLESS THOUGH,  
THERE IS INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR MORE WIDESPREAD AND POTENTIALLY  
HEAVY RAINS ACROSS HAWAII MID TO LATER NEXT WEEK, WITH A LOT OF  
UNCERTAINTY STILL IN EXACT AMOUNTS. THE GUIDANCE SHOWS THIS LOW  
WEAKENING NEXT WEEKEND AND SLOWLY BEGINNING TO DRIFT EASTWARD OVER  
OR JUST NORTH OF THE ISLANDS.
