Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 158 AM EDT Wed Aug 11 2021 Valid 00Z Thu Aug 12 2021 - 00Z Thu Aug 19 2021 Trade winds across Hawaii should gradually strengthen again as surface high pressure tries to build well north of the region. An initial weak upper trough should move west of Hawaii on Wednesday as an upper ridge builds over the state until the weekend when another upper trough moves in from the east early next week. This pattern would support periods of showers in the forecast with locally enhanced activity possible across the typical windward and mauka areas. Locally heavy rainfall is also possible across Maui and the Big Island through Wednesday as an area of higher mid-level moisture moves through. Santorelli
