Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 320 AM EDT Mon Aug 02 2021 Valid 00Z Tue Aug 03 2021 - 00Z Tue Aug 10 2021 Strong upper ridging to the northwest of Hawai'i will continue westward through the week. Heights will remain above normal through the period, perhaps trending back toward or below normal as a weakness moves in from the east late this week through the weekend. With mid-level moisture remaining rather low (PWs around 1-1.5" and 700-400/300-850mb RH 5-20%), most of the area will remain drier than normal and see generally lighter windward/mauka showers. Trades will remain breezy as the surface high to the northeast dips toward 33N around midweek then back toward 40N this weekend. Farther east, Hurricane Hilda and the remnants of T.D. Nine-E may push toward (or partially beneath) the area but there remains a large amount of spread in track and evolution (including possible interaction between the two systems). By next week the moisture associated with the system(s) may be closing in on 150W. Fracasso
