Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 332 AM EDT Mon Aug 19 2024 Valid 00Z Tue Aug 20 2024 - 00Z Tue Aug 27 2024 Latest model and ensemble solutions remain reasonably well clustered for much of the coming week in a pattern with seemingly above normal predictability. A favored guidance composite indicates that island trades will strengthen and maintain breezy levels as surface high pressure builds and bridges to the north of the state. Through the period, some showers are possible favoring typical windward/mauka areas, but occasionally spilling into leeward areas. Showers may be supported by nearby mid-upper level troughing and periodic moisture over the next few days, but widespread heavy rain is not expected in this period. However, guidance signals are growing that deep moisture could advect into at least the Big Island later weekend into early next week from possible tropical low/convective developments now being monitored well to the southeast of the islands by the National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center.
