Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 337 AM EDT Sat Jul 23 2022 Valid 00Z Sun Jul 24 2022 - 00Z Sun Jul 31 2022 The models and ensemble means continue to agree upon a persistent trade wind pattern with mostly windward/mountain showers through the period, as surface high pressure settles over the east-central Pacific. Trades should be moderate to occasionally brisk into early next week and then may weaken somewhat by Wednesday-Thursday as an upper weakness/low moves in from the east and expands over/north of the state. This may provide a little more potential for sea breeze influence if the background flow weakens sufficiently. Overall though, rainfall amounts should be fairly light as guidance maintains below normal precipitable water values into at least the middle of next week. Some uptick in moisture is possible by later next week associated with the upper level trough over the state, but guidance continues to keep the best rainfall well north of the state. Santorelli
