Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 317 AM EDT Wed Jul 17 2024 Valid 00Z Thu Jul 18 2024 - 00Z Thu Jul 25 2024 Breezy trades and supporting high pressure to the north of the Hawaiian Islands should ease today. A favored composite of reasonably well clustered models and ensembles indicates that a mostly dry pattern with mainly light showers for windward/mauka locations may linger with the state in a position to the west of a main upper trough. Some influx of increased moisture into the islands from the southeast of the state by the weekend may fuel some uptick of precipitation chances into the islands. High pressure rebuilding to the north of the state later weekend into early-mid next week will act to rejuvenate trades. The National Hurricane Center is also monitoring an area of interest over the tropical eastern Pacific that could bring some deeper moisture into the islands to fuel showers late period. Schichtel
