Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 352 AM EDT Tue Aug 13 2024 Valid 00Z Wed Aug 14 2024 - 00Z Wed Aug 21 2024 A relatively wet and breezy trade wind pattern will be in place for the rest of this week into early next week across Hawaii. Surface high pressure meandering around 40N will maintain the typical pressure gradient for moderate to breezy easterly trades through the week, possibly strengthening a bit by the weekend into next 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 raise the typical inversion to support more showers, and then models are agreeable in enhanced moisture coming in around late Friday-Saturday, with another possibly stronger moisture surge early next week. Widespread heavy rain is not expected in this showery pattern though. Tate
