Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 358 AM EDT Mon Jul 08 2024 Valid 00Z Tue Jul 09 2024 - 00Z Tue Jul 16 2024 A persistent mid-upper ridge is in place across Hawaii, and on average this ridge will remain through this week and weekend, serving to suppress notable rainfall. A minor increase in moisture Monday or Tuesday, and then a weak trough moving westward across Hawaii on the southern side of the ridge around Thursday, could both increase shower coverage at times, favoring windward areas. Overall a dry pattern is likely late week into the weekend, with just a few windward showers. Moderate trades are likely to continue Monday, but increase to breezy levels Tuesday-Wednesday as high pressure north of the state strengthens. Breezy trades are forecast to persist into through late week and into early next week as the surface high continues to strengthen. Tate
