Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 300 AM EDT Thu Jul 18 2024 Valid 00Z Fri Jul 19 2024 - 00Z Fri Jul 26 2024 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 moisture into the islands from southeast of the state by the weekend may fuel some uptick of precipitation chances. High pressure slated to strongly build/bridge to the north of the state later weekend and next week will ramp up trades trade and an associated windward shower focus. The National Hurricane Center also continues to monitor a disturbance over the tropical eastern Pacific that may allow some deeper moisture work through the islands to fuel showers into next midweek.
