Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 348 AM EDT Sun Oct 13 2024 Valid 00Z Mon Oct 14 2024 - 00Z Mon Oct 21 2024 Light to moderate trades with perhaps some sea/land breezes are forecast to continue over the next couple of days, 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, until into Monday when a surface trough accompanied by an increase in moisture is forecast to move east to west across the state for some minor enhancement of rainfall. Trades are forecast to strengthen around Tuesday-Wednesday as the surface ridge to the north returns. By Thursday or Friday the trades look to decrease once again, while a weak upper low and perhaps a surface trough approach the state and cause another surge of above average moisture that could enhance rainfall amounts in favored windward locations especially. Moisture levels should return closer to normal into the weekend. Tate
