Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 352 AM EDT Mon Sep 27 2021 Valid 00Z Tue Sep 28 2021 - 00Z Tue Oct 05 2021 Over the next couple of days, a surface high pressure system drifting eastward to the north of Hawaii and an upper-level ridge to the northwest of the state will continue to cause breezy easterly trade winds. Other than some shower activity over windward and mauka areas, generally dry conditions are expected. By around midweek, a weakness in the upper-level flow should lead to trade winds lessening to light or moderate. Then, some increase in available moisture is possible by around Thursday/Friday. Though most guidance has some increase, deterministic GFS runs remain the most aggressive with the magnitude and westward spread of the anomalously high moisture compared to the GEFS and EC means and the deterministic ECMWF. Additionally, though overall moisture (precipitable water) increases, there is some question as far as how much available moisture there will be at the surface itself. So these differences will continue to be monitored, but the pattern overall suggests that increasing shower activity is possible by later in the workweek. Tate
