Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 341 AM EDT Thu Jul 21 2022 Valid 00Z Fri Jul 22 2022 - 00Z Fri Jul 29 2022 The models and ensemble means agree upon a persistent trade pattern with mostly windward/mountain showers through the period, as high pressure initially north of the state soon settles into position over the east-central Pacific. Trades should be moderate to occasionally brisk from late this week into early next week and then may weaken somewhat by Wednesday-Thursday as an upper weakness/low reaches northeast or north of the state. There may be a little more potential for sea breeze influence if the background flow weakens sufficiently. Overall rainfall amounts should be fairly light as guidance maintains below-climatology precipitable water values through most of the period. Agreement is better than in previous days when a majority stayed dry while one solution or another would increase moisture for a time. There may be some fluctuation within the light rainfall regime, with late Sunday into Tuesday tending to be a little drier as upper ridging passes over the area from east to west. Rausch
