Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 356 AM EDT Sat Apr 29 2023 Valid 00Z Sun Apr 30 2023 - 00Z Sun May 07 2023 A favored composite of well clustered model guidance has broad ensemble support overall in a pattern with average to above average predictability. Despite a stalling boundary lingering in the vicinity, rain chances have trended downward for the rest of the weekend, with only light showers anticipated. Next week will see a return to a pattern featuring moderate trades as high pressure bridges to the north then northeast of the state. Southeastward digging of an upper-level trough and surface front from the west-central Pacific mid-latitudes are forecast to occur to the west. Subsequent higher precipitation chances nearby may drift eastward enough to bring showers to Kauai and Oahu by Tuesday-Wednesday with a brief disruption to the trades. The associated surface troughing/frontal boundary to the northwest are forecast to weaken/dissipate by late week with broad high pressure remaining in place to the north and moderate trades continuing over the islands.
