Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 213 AM EDT Sun Jul 19 2020 Valid 00Z Mon Jul 20 2020 - 00Z Mon Jul 27 2020 A broad upper-level ridge is forecast to persist across the Central Pacific through the upcoming week. Breezy trades are expected to continue through early in the week, before weakening somewhat by Tuesday, and strengthening again later in the week. A broad weakness in the ridge is forecast to cross the state from east to west Tuesday through Friday. The GEFS continues to shower 500 hPa height anomalies of -1 to -2 standard deviations in association with this feature, which should enhance instability across Hawaii somewhat. An area of deeper moisture may cross Hawaii next weekend, with some increase in shower activity possible. Overall, model/ensemble guidance showed relatively good agreement across Hawaii through much of the upcoming week, and a general model blend is preferred. Ryan
