Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 246 AM EST Sat Feb 03 2024 Valid 00Z Sun Feb 04 2024 - 00Z Sun Feb 11 2024 High pressure settling to the northeast of Hawaii this weekend will support a period of strong winds well into next week, with high Surf for north and west facing shores likely through at least the weekend. Upper ridging will build over Hawaii by early next week and with an overall drier airmass in place, this should keep any shower chances to mainly windward facing slopes and rather light. This general pattern should persist for about the next week, though winds should trend lighter and in a more southeasterly direction next Friday-Saturday ahead of a system passing to the north. The latest models and ensembles continue to show excellent agreement on this pattern with some variability in some of the smaller scale details. Santorelli
