Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 316 AM EDT Sat Oct 07 2023 Valid 00Z Sun Oct 08 2023 - 00Z Sun Oct 15 2023 Model and ensemble solutions are reasonably well clustered for much of the next week in a generally benign weather pattern with seemingly above normal predictability. A favored composite indicates that moisture should thin this weekend and high pressure bridging to the north of the islands should allow the return of easterly trade winds through early-mid next week. Mostly dry conditions are expected with windward/mauka showers, and very little shower activity is forecast to reach leeward communities. Some models show an axis of moisture extending towards the Big Island mid-week, which may increase precipitation chances. Trade winds will likely temporarily decrease later next week as a cold front approaches from the north, but may return heading into next weekend with renewed post-frontal high pressure development to the northwest of the islands.
