Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 218 AM EST Sun Feb 04 2024 Valid 00Z Mon Feb 05 2024 - 00Z Mon Feb 12 2024 High pressure to the north of Hawaii will support a period of strong winds through Thursday, with high Surf for north and west facing shores likely. Upper ridging will build over the state by early next week and with an overall drier airmass in place, this should keep any shower chances to mainly windward facing slopes. This general pattern should persist for about the next week, though winds should trend much lighter and in a more southeasterly direction next Friday-Sunday ahead of a system passing to the north and more zonal flow aloft. The latest models and ensembles continue to show excellent agreement on this pattern with some variability in some of the smaller scale details. Santorelli
