Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 314 AM EDT Tue Jul 14 2020 Valid 00Z Wed Jul 15 2020 - 00Z Wed Jul 22 2020 Weakness aloft will drift to the west of the area through the week, with typical trades and windward showers that may be enhanced on Tuesday into early Wednesday with the passage of higher precipitable water values. Upper ridging is forecast to build over the northeastern Pacific by the weekend and nose into the region from the northeast, which will increase trades. A general model consensus should suffice. Remnants of Cristina are forecast to stay north of the Big Island around 25N with little affect on the state as it will become detached from deep tropical moisture along the ITCZ. By next week, upper ridging will try to flatten E-W over the mid-latitudes which may allow a weakness to slip toward the are from the northeast. Fracasso
