Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 804 AM EDT Fri Jun 23 2017 Valid 00Z Sat Jun 24 2017 - 00Z Sat Jul 01 2017 Expect trades of varying strength through the period. Surface ridging well north of the state will evolve in shape and location but ultimately support persistent easterly winds on average. Relative to the rest of the period, trades may be a little weaker during the weekend. Shower activity from now into early next week should trend lighter by Tuesday-Wednesday with a decline in precipitable water values to 1.00-1.25 inches and perhaps slightly lower, at least one standard deviation below normal. Upper level energy in the southern fringe of the westerlies will drop south/southwest to the west of the state Sunday-Monday and could locally enhance rainfall primarily on Sunday. Also the weaker trades on the weekend could allow sea breeze boundaries to have an influence on rainfall versus a more windward focus during most of next week. Rausch
