Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 450 AM EDT Fri Sep 06 2024 Valid 00Z Sat Sep 07 2024 - 00Z Sat Sep 14 2024 The latest ensemble means are in good agreement on an amplifying upper trough to the northeast of the Islands through the upcoming weekend and into early next week, and a col trying to develop over the state as the subtropical upper ridge breaks down some. This will support a meandering stationary front that would likely be over the central and northern Islands, and the guidance suggests a surface low will probably form near 30 degrees north and slowly drift west through the middle of the week. In terms of sensible weather, light to occasionally moderate trades can be expected through the weekend, and then lighter and more variable flow for the first half of the week with the col in place and the frontal boundary nearby. The mainly terrain favored showers can be expected most days, but no major rainfall events are currently anticipated over the upcoming week. Hamrick
