Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 830 AM EDT Thu May 16 2019 Valid 00Z Fri May 17 2019 - 00Z Fri May 24 2019 Latest model and ensemble solutions seem well clustered over the next week, bolstering forecast confidence. A composite solution seems reasonable. High pressure bridging to the north of the state over the next couple of days will settle to the northeast of the islands later weekend into next week. In this pattern, trades will increase to moderate and occasionally brisk levels. Trades will also tend to turn east-southeasterly next week as high pressure strengthens further while settling over the eastern Pacific and a front comes into the picture well west of the main islands. Expect a trend toward fairly light windward-focused showers into the weekend under stable upper ridging with limited moisture. East-southeasterly low level flow next week would gradually increase moisture while a modest weakness aloft may develop over the area. Thus rainfall could increase. Schichtel
