Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 334 AM EDT Tue Jun 21 2022 Valid 00Z Wed Jun 22 2022 - 00Z Wed Jun 29 2022 Latest guidance is agreeable and consistent in showing a typical easterly trade pattern through the next week with periodic fluctuations in wind speeds along with variations in moisture (though with mostly near to somewhat below average precipitable water values) that will have some influence on windward/mountain-focused showers. The upper ridge will build back over Hawaii this week supporting relatively weak trade winds through the upcoming weekend. This weekend, an upper low/surface frontal system will work through well north of Hawaii with amplified ridging building behind. This should shift the main ridge axis northward leading to an increase in trade wind speeds again by early next week. Santorelli
