Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion...Retransmitted NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 404 AM EDT Thu Jul 28 2022 Valid 00Z Fri Jul 29 2022 - 00Z Fri Aug 05 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. Weak trades continue into Friday as an elongated upper trough expands over/north of the state which could also provide a little more potential for sea breeze influence and an uptick in showers as a period of deeper moisture moves through. Upper level ridging and high pressure should again build over and north of the state by this weekend and into early next week with moderate to breezy trade winds. By around the middle of next week, another wave looks to approach weakening the background flow and with some possible additional showers across Hawaii. Santorelli
