Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 304 AM EDT Fri Sep 15 2023 Valid 00Z Sat Sep 16 2023 - 00Z Sat Sep 23 2023 Upper level ridging to the north of Hawaii through much of the period should maintain a fairly normal trade wind pattern, with some weakening/disruption of trades at times. Showers will tend to focus over windward/mountain areas but could extend over other locations depending on local land/sea breeze effects. From late weekend into next week, trades should rebound somewhat as high pressure settles over the eastern Pacific. Models/means continue to signal the arrival of enhanced moisture by midweek in association with the remnant trough of what is now Invest 94E, though with typical spread for specifics which have low predictability that far out in time. Overall, expect greater windward shower focus Sunday onward, with rainfall totals tending to increase around midweek. Santorelli
