Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 334 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024 Valid 00Z Sun Jun 16 2024 - 00Z Sun Jun 23 2024 Today's models and ensembles maintain good continuity with the forecast pattern while refining some of the specifics. High pressure initially to the northeast of the state should retrograde with time to become positioned more directly to the north toward mid-late week. As a result, trades will likely be somewhat stronger during the latter half of the week than in the shorter term. Windward and mountain locations will see the primary focus for showers but some rain could stray into other areas as well. The weak upper low tracking just south of the main islands from the weekend into early next week (likely shearing out west of the state after Wednesday) may enhance rainfall somewhat during and after its passage. Guidance has become better clustered in depicting a band of moisture crossing the state from east to west during Tuesday-Wednesday, followed by a drier pocket on Thursday and then passage of another area of moisture during Friday-Saturday.
