Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 332 AM EDT Wed Jul 27 2022 Valid 00Z Thu Jul 28 2022 - 00Z Thu Aug 04 2022 The models and ensemble means continue to agree upon a mostly persistent easterly trade wind pattern with varying speeds and windward/mountain showers through the period, as surface high pressure settles over the east-central Pacific Ocean. Trade winds may weaker through this week as an elongated upper trough expands over/north of the state which could provide a little more potential for sea breeze influence and an uptick in showers if the background flow weakens sufficiently as a period of deeper moisture moves through. Upper level ridging and high pressure should again build over and north of the state by the early to middle part of next week with moderate to breezy trade winds resuming. Santorelli
