Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 342 AM EDT Sun Aug 11 2024 Valid 00Z Mon Aug 12 2024 - 00Z Mon Aug 19 2024 Trade winds should be strengthening back to breezy levels on Sunday as a surface high drifts toward Hawaii (though staying well north). The high is forecast to meander around 40N and maintain the typical pressure gradient for breezy easterly trades through much of this week, with some model signal to strengthen even further by late week. Through the period, some showers are possible favoring typical windward/mauka areas but occasionally spilling into leeward areas. Coverage and amounts of rain may vary from day to day. By around Wednesday-Friday, troughing in the mid-upper levels could support more surges of moisture, but models do not necessarily show higher rain amounts for those days, so will continue to monitor. Widespread heavy rain is not expected, just a relatively wet trade wind pattern. Tate
