Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 326 AM EDT Fri Sep 01 2023 Valid 00Z Sat Sep 02 2023 - 00Z Sat Sep 09 2023 Models and ensembles overall agree that surface high pressure bridging to the north and northeast of the state should maintain breezier than normal island winds into the weekend. Meanwhile ridging aloft and below normal dewpoints/humidity levels will combine with the breezy conditions to potentially offer some lingering fire danger risks. By early next week though, lowering heights aloft appear likely, providing for some possible instability under an emerging upper trough. A weakening surface pressure gradient should lead to decreasing trade winds and perhaps more of a land/sea breeze pattern. Increasing showers are possible especially when and where moisture levels increase. There is a chance of a brief incursion of moisture particularly for the northwestern islands around Monday, but chances of a greater moisture surge from the ITCZ into at least the Big Island heading through midweek to monitor.
