Who are "they"?
"Both the major weather models show a series of jet stream troughs diving south near or over our island chain. This brings an extended period of enhanced windward showers."
Thanks, but I think it's unlikely that forecast would appear on any app. The current NWS statewide forecast says:
"Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Honolulu HI
840 PM HST Mon Dec 9 2024"
"An upper level low passing south of the state Wednesday through Friday could bring an increase of showers over parts of windward Big Island and Maui especially around Thursday night into Friday. At this time, it looks like the main instability and moisture should pass south of the state, but a slight shift northward could bring more enhanced showers. Stay tuned for more details."
