Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 259 AM EDT Wed Sep 20 2023 Valid 00Z Thu Sep 21 2023 - 00Z Thu Sep 28 2023 Strong high pressure to the north of Hawaii this week should keep a locally breezy trade wind pattern in place, with some variability in speeds. Trades may ease some during the weekend with some heavier showers possible as an upper level trough/cyclone moves nearby and leads to a slight uptick in the precipitable water values over the islands. Showers through the next week will tend to focus over the favorable windward/mountain areas but could extend over some leeward locations depending on wind speeds and pockets of higher moisture moving through the flow.
