Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 147 AM EDT Sun Sep 8 2024 Valid 00Z Mon Sep 9 2024 - 00Z Mon Sep 16 2024 The latest ensemble means are in good agreement on an upper level low closing off to the northeast of the Islands through early next week. 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 form near 30 degrees north and slowly drift west, along with the frontal boundary, through the middle to end of the week. The surface high then builds back to the north of the Islands. In terms of sensible weather, generally lighter and more variable flow for the first half of the week can be expected with the col in place and the frontal boundary nearby, based on the latest model guidance. A more steady easterly flow resumes by the end of the week with the surface high rebuilding north of the state. The mainly terrain favored showers can be expected most days, but no major rainfall events are currently anticipated over the upcoming week with the deepest tropical moisture remaining well to the south.
