Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 316 AM EDT Thu Jul 16 2020 Valid 00Z Fri Jul 17 2020 - 00Z Fri Jul 24 2020 Upper ridging is forecast to nose into the region from the northeast this weekend, which will increase trades. Next week, upper ridging will flatten east to west over the mid-latitudes which will allow a weakness to slip toward the area from the northeast and trades to slacken a bit. Expect rather typical windward/mauka showers through the period with a bit of enhancement late Sat into Sun and perhaps next Tue into Wed as a couples areas of higher moisture pass through (precipitable water values rising to about 1.50-1.75 inches at most. Ensembles remain in great agreement through the period on the longwave pattern/evolution and a blended model solution should suffice. Fracasso
