Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 332 AM EDT Sat Jun 01 2024 Valid 00Z Sun Jun 02 2024 - 00Z Sun Jun 09 2024 Breezy easterly trade winds are likely through the weekend and into the first part of next week, as elongated surface high pressure stays in place well north of Hawaii. Meanwhile aloft, weak troughing possibly forming a closed upper low atop the state this weekend could allow for some minor instability to develop, increasing potential for showers. Showers should focus in windward/mauka areas due to the trades. Models show above normal moisture (precipitable water values) coming into the state Monday-Wednesday as well. By the latter half of next week, the elongated surface high is likely to split north of Hawaii and decrease the pressure gradient, lessening the trades and perhaps allowing for a land/sea breeze pattern to set up. A somewhat drier pattern looks to develop as well, as mid-upper heights rise. Tate
