Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 146 AM EDT Thu Jun 30 2022 Valid 00Z Fri Jul 1 2022 - 00Z Fri Jul 8 2022 The latest models and ensemble means are in decent agreement through early next week in indicating upper ridging building north over the Islands, as the main surface high strengthens to the north of Hawaii and slowly moves towards the west. This will tend to support moderate/breezy trade winds through most of the upcoming week. These low-mid level winds will carry waves of enhanced moisture across the state, but rainfall amounts should remain generally modest with primarily windward based showers over the favored terrain. An inverted upper trough passing through the region from the east this weekend offers some additional lift, but the deepest moisture will remain well south of the state closer to the ITCZ. Beyond this time, upper riding should again build over and north of the region by the middle of next week. Hamrick
