Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 327 AM EDT Sat Oct 12 2024 Valid 00Z Sun Oct 13 2024 - 00Z Sun Oct 20 2024 Light to moderate trades are likely into the weekend, with nothing stronger expected given a weaker than typical surface high to the north of Hawaii. Upper ridging aloft will keep showers on the light side, favoring windward areas. By around Monday, models show a surface trough accompanied by an increase in moisture moving east to west across the state for some minor enhancement of rainfall. Trades are forecast to strengthen around Tuesday-Thursday as the surface ridge to the north returns. By later next week the trades look to decrease once again, while a weak upper low approaches the state and could cause another potential surge in moisture, which will continue to be monitored. Tate
