Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 339 AM EDT Fri Jul 19 2024 Valid 00Z Sat Jul 20 2024 - 00Z Sat Jul 27 2024 Latest guidance agrees well with the forecast pattern over the next seven days. Trades will provide the best shower focus over windward/mountain areas, with rainfall totals fluctuating in response to areas of greater or lesser deep moisture passing through from east to west. Consensus shows surface high pressure along 40N latitude steadily strengthening into next week, which will support a corresponding increase in wind speeds across the state especially in the Tuesday-Friday time frame. Meanwhile, models/ensemble means similarly advertise one area of enhanced moisture crossing the region during the weekend and a second around Tuesday, followed by what looks to be a longer term drier trend by the latter half of next week.
