Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 335 AM EDT Wed May 01 2024 Valid 00Z Thu May 02 2024 - 00Z Thu May 09 2024 Trade winds will be transitioning to a more easterly direction and gradually strengthening on Wednesday as surface highs develop well north of the state. The highs are likely to consolidate and strengthen over the next few days, which will in turn cause trades to strengthen to eventually breezy levels. Meanwhile model guidance is in fairly good agreement with showing a mid-upper trough/low centered west of Hawaii late week and then coming overhead by early next week. This could provide some instability for increased showers, which would favor windward and mauka areas given the increasing trades. Rainfall totals do not appear to be significant though. This wet trade wind pattern looks to continue into midweek next week. Tate
