Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 353 AM EDT Sat Jul 20 2024 Valid 00Z Sun Jul 21 2024 - 00Z Sun Jul 28 2024 Models and ensembles continue to show similar ideas for this coming week. High pressure near 40N latitude will be the dominant influence on the trades, drifting east and strengthening into the first part of next week followed by a westward return. Expect moderate trades through the weekend and then trending to brisk/windy conditions mid-late week with somewhat weaker winds possible by next Saturday. Moisture and relative trends for rainfall will oscillate from the weekend into the first part of next week. One area of enhanced moisture should pass through this weekend with another one on Tuesday. There is some debate among solutions over whether some of this moisture may persist into Wednesday, with the 00Z ECMWF/12Z ECens mean showing this idea versus the 00Z GFS/GEFS mean that have quicker drying per recent continuity. An intermediate solution looks reasonable for resolving this difference. After the moisture passes by, guidance agrees upon a period of lower precipitable water and lighter rainfall by the latter half of the week. Rausch
