Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 811 AM EDT Mon Jun 03 2019 Valid 00Z Tue Jun 04 2019 - 00Z Tue Jun 11 2019 Today's guidance continues to show similar ideas for the forecast over the next seven days. The primary feature of note will be a weak but consolidating shortwave (possibly containing an upper low depending on the precise level examined) expected to approach and cross the main islands Tuesday through Thursday. This shortwave will bring the potential for some locally heavy showers and possibly a few thunderstorms with the increased instability, and models/means agree with the corresponding increase of deep moisture. There will be a drying trend from late this week into early next week as heights aloft gradually rise and precipitable water values decrease. However by next weekend multi-day trends still suggest that upper ridging to the west will not build eastward quite as fast as the more extreme side of the spread (00Z CMC/CMC mean). Mid-latitude high pressure tracking toward the eastern Pacific will support moderate to brisk trades during the first half of the week. Then trades will trend lighter as the high settles into its destination and a decelerating front comes into the picture well northwest of the islands. Trades may be light enough to allow for some land/sea breeze shower focus late week into the weekend. From late weekend into early next week guidance still suggests the eastern Pacific high may gradually expand southwestward leading to a modest rebound in trade strength. Rausch
