Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 338 AM EDT Tue Jul 09 2024 Valid 00Z Wed Jul 10 2024 - 00Z Wed Jul 17 2024 A persistent mid-upper ridge is in place across and north of Hawaii, and on average this ridge will remain through this week and weekend, serving to suppress notable rainfall. Some showers are possible though especially in windward/mauka areas over the next few days, with a minor increase in moisture and then a weak mid-upper trough moving westward across the state around Thursday. Then overall a dry pattern is likely late week into early next week, with just a few windward showers. Winds will increase today into Wednesday as high pressure north of the state strengthens. These breezy to strong trades are forecast to persist through late week and into early next week as the surface high continues to strengthen. Tate
