Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 318 AM EDT Wed Jun 14 2023 Valid 00Z Thu Jun 15 2023 - 00Z Thu Jun 22 2023 The core of the subtropical high is expected to be nearly anchored in place around 35N/145W through the upcoming week, and then slowly move back towards the west by the middle of next week. The Islands will be on the southwestern periphery of this high through the forecast period. The GEFS mean is slightly to the west with the high compared to the ECENS mean by Monday-Wednesday. This will also be co-located with an upper level high in the same general region. There will likely be a weak upper level trough that lifts slowly northwestward through the end of the week, but except for some slightly heavier showers across the Big Island, it should not have a noticeable effect on the local weather for most locations. In terms of sensible weather, low level trades should generally be out of the east with some occasional ESE component at times, with moderate to breezy flow velocities expected. No major surges of tropical moisture are expected over the next week with the deepest moisture confined to the ITCZ. Hamrick
