Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 349 AM EDT Mon May 06 2024 Valid 00Z Tue May 07 2024 - 00Z Tue May 14 2024 Surface high pressure built to the north of Hawaii is favoring breezy island trades as an upper weakness works over the state. Expect some instability showers for windward and mauka areas fueled by pooled moisture. Trades should decrease through the upcoming week as the supporting high weakens with onset of ample mid-latitude upper troughing/height falls and lead surface frontal approach and more moist trade response into the islands. Guidance has trended toward development of a more amplified upper trough/low over the state heading into and through the weekend that may be reasonable considering amplified upstream upper ridging. If manifested, this would favor a wetter pattern with potential for heavier rainfall than now shown in most guidance. Schichtel
