Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 337 AM EDT Wed Jun 19 2024 Valid 00Z Thu Jun 20 2024 - 00Z Thu Jun 27 2024 Today's models and ensembles maintain good agreement and continuity for the expected pattern over the next seven days. High pressure to the north of the state will maintain brisk to strong trades for most of the period, though with the potential for some moderation of wind speeds by next Tuesday-Wednesday as the high trends a little weaker. Expect windward/mountain focus for showers that could occasionally stray to other locations, with rainfall tending to be in the lighter half of the spectrum per guidance consensus. An area of greater moisture passing by to the north and brushing the northwestern islands may enhance totals a bit around Friday-Saturday. Otherwise guidance generally keeps precipitable water values below climatology. With the westward departure of an upper low, ridging (or at least fairly high heights) should prevail through the weekend. The next upper level feature of interest will be a low which guidance agrees should approach from the east by next Wednesday. Rausch
